I just can't understand how they could be so heavy handed
with something which is obviously a delicate musical instrument :o

Furthermore, unless the bass is absolutely packed with electronics, or a funny-looking-powdery-material
I can't understand how much of an examination is required....

"Hmm, it's a double bass.....
.... nothing inside it...
.... Lets put it straight back in the case....."

Perhaps their approach was different

"Hmm double bass....
Is this thing made of wood?
....hmm... perhaps if I hit it with this large hammer?
.... or see if it bounces...."

I hope they a made to repair all damages!

A friends cello had the top cut off by TSA. They even put it back in the case and she didn't realise till she left the airport. A 70 K cello ruined.

Did she sue? I just wondered if they get away with it?
