·Maybe AI can help us with that, the scanners could record every nice watch that goes through, serial number and all, and match them up with stolen watches.

·Rule no. 1......Never, ever, take your watch off in public, ever. Wash your hands with the watch on, it's not going to hurt it. Going through airport security I leave the watch on, that's always been ok, but last year I set the alarm off at the Zurich Flughafen and the agent made me take my Speedmaster off and put it in a plastic tray he held out. I told him, 'be careful', and he immediately lost control of the bin and the watch fell face first onto the terrazzo floor. Miraculously, no damage, but from then I just take it off and put it in a zippered pouch on my carryon. But at least we don't have to take our shoes off anymore in the US.
By the way, I was an Armed Contract Security Officer for 16 years. I was contracted to GSA, IRS, DoD and yes, Social Security. We were never told to do this and I wouldn't have anyway. I knew what the Officer was up to and that just made it worse.

·@Rocketeer61, there is nothing worse than a government functionary doing security work. They love the power they wield against the public. They can prevent access to you for your personal government business, or deny you the ability to travel. Most are good, but there are more than a few rotten apples.

·Went to New Orleans, not exactly the most pristine of areas. Wore the watch. Asked wife to leave the Pradas at home. Guess she took to show faith in fellow men. I didn’t have to chase anyone so ok in long run. Or maybe I just look too big and fast for anyone to chance. I always look’em in the eye also, not gonna be a timid walk by.
