Track My Baggage Closely, Please!

Fun lifehack via Bruce Schneier: if you want your checked bags to be tracked very carefully (and never get lost), buy a starter pistol. They’re considered a weapon; once you place it in your bag (unloaded, of course) with your very valuable camera/computer equipment and disclose it, the TSA will keep a very close eye on it for you. Handy.
