Yale student sues airline for $1M over lost Xbox

I say he should hire the lawyer who sued the dry cleaner in DC or maybe John (Breck Girl) Edwards.

I also think this is law-suit happy land. :banghead:

Not surprised. We had a pax forget their inflatable pillow on a flight from Sacramento once. I got a call at my gate from the TSA checkpoint about 30 minutes later that the passenger demanded that I bring the pillow to the checkpoint or she'll sue. I tell TSA "Well, the plane is on its way to Medford now, she can wait for it to get back about 2 hours from now if she wants". Guess what, she did.

It probably was the TSA who took it. Rampers don't usually have enough time to go pawing through luggage that may or may not have anything in it.

Eh, I wouldn't bet on that, especially at contract companies like Menzies or Swissport.

1 JDAM for the Yale chump.
1 JDAM for the POS lawyer that filed the case.

Next.....

What a tool. I wonder what the specialized hard drive was? Probably hacked it in someway. I can't believe he is seeking $1m that is crazy.

I do know a pilot who checked his kiteboard on a flight from Costa Rica, then apparently the airline lost it, then he found it on eBay about a week later.

Turns out that the person selling it on eBay had a number of items "found" on sale at eBay. I think it led to an arrest for fencing.

If I'd unlocked everything in Guitar Hero, I'd say my hard drive was specialized! But then I also backup everything too.
