I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Bane's underwear and AR forging fiasco was no chance encounter. The way Michael rightly flings poo at those in politics, government, and antigun groups he is no doubt on a payback hit list. TSA probably has him flagged on their watch list so finding the forgings was not by chance from an observent drone. Giving Michael was going through the corrupt gun forbidden realm of King Richard and the corrupt political home base of bHo they probably thought they had him by the nuts. As HAZ suggested your luggage was not lost, but payback for for dissapointing them for not being able to nail you for something.
