    I am sure they had done this before. $5K from returning cloths and a trip to Hawaii, just trying to keep up with the obamas. TNB

    Not quite from the dead. I think the article said the luggage was transfer luggage from connecting passengers, not the dead or injured from the crashed plane.

    My grandmother told me a story once that when her relative passed they found the undertaker had under taken all his gold teeth!

    My God, you're right.... when it comes to STEALING people's baggage from an airlines, context matters. [:o)]

    Good call..... exactly how long have you worked* (loose interpretation) for the TSA?

    Not surprising, after all what is the dead person going to do with them? That was probably their rationale. I imagine back in your grandmother's time that was a regular occurrence, especially with expensive gold dental fixtures.

    I heard once from a funeral home that if you want, they will extract all valuable metals and return them to you before the burial, just like they do with jewelry. As was mentioned, the corpse doesn't need them. Why waste it by burying it in the ground with a decaying corpse? [:)]
