securing the skies

Denise & David returned today, but some of the luggage didn't quite make it. They flew from Pittsburgh, with a layover in Cleveland. They had 3 pieces of luggage under the plane, yet only one of them made it with their flight initially. At that point Denise went to the Continental luggage counter to ask them WTF. They end up telling her that the two missing pieces were held up in Cleveland, because they were 'suspicious'. As she's standing there attempting to explain that they lost some of her luggage a random baggage handler shows up with one of the two missing pieces of luggages. Err, why are the counter people claiming that it was still in Cleveland if it wasn't really there? So the other one is still MIA. Now what we're wondering is how come they weren't too suspicious to fly from Pittsburgh to Cleveland, yet somehow they were deemed too suspicious to make it to San Francisco. Does San Francisco (or Cleveland) have a higher standard of 'suspicous' luggage than Pittsburgh? Does no one care if suspicious luggage ends up in Cleveland? It boggles my mind.
