    It probably wasn't TSA, but rather the baggage handlers. When I flew
    to teach in Miami recently, a plastic can of TSP (for anodizing) was
    smashed and got all over my other stuff. It was taped shut! Also, my
    anodizer was busted-- it was wrapped in my clothes in my luggage. 

    I once sat on a plane watching luggage being loaded. The guy could
    have slid the bags from the trolley straight onto the conveyer that
    carried them up into the plane, but instead, he literally threw each
    one 2-3 feet in the air, to come smacking down onto the conveyer. 

Not exactly gentle treatment.
