This is the one thing you should never put in a TSA bin — it's the top item stolen at security, expert warns
If you've ever dropped your phone into a TSA bin and sent it down the conveyor belt — as most air travelers have done — you might want to rethink that casual habit. In a now-viral TikTok, travel expert Tiffany (@ shares a critical piece of advice she says she learned the hard way: never place your phone directly into a TSA bin. Instead, she always keeps hers zipped securely inside her bag. 'The thing I'm absolutely never doing when I'm going through TSA — I am not putting my phone directly into one of the containers,' she says in the video, which has now racked up hundreds of thousands of views. 'It's always going in a zipped pocket in my bag.' Tiffany recalls being corrected by a TSA officer who caught her placing her phone loose in a bin. 'The TSA agent looked at me and was like, 'You don't like your phone?'' she recounts. 'I said, 'Yes?' And he said, 'This is the fastest way to get it stolen.'' According to Tiffany, the agent told her that phones are the number one item stolen at airport security. The issue, she explains, is timing: when lines back up or bins pile up, travelers often aren't paying close attention to their belongings. That moment of distraction is all it takes. Viewers were quick to sound off in the comments — many in disbelief. 'Wait WHAT! I always do this. Never again,' one person wrote. Another added, 'This happened to me. Lost my phone before a 10-hour flight — worst feeling ever.' Others chimed in with their own hacks: some tuck their phones into shoes, while others swear by interior zipper pouches or belt bags they keep on until the last second. Tiffany's closing advice is simple but effective: 'Always make sure your valuables are zipped up [inside] your bag when they go through the scanners.' It's a small change that could save you hundreds of dollars — and a whole lot of airport stress.

24 Students Just Shared The Wildest Meltdowns They've Ever Seen Rich Kids Have At Private Schools, And Oh My Word
Reddit user Katybee18 recently asked, "People who went to private school, what was the best rich kid meltdown you've ever witnessed?" Here are their wilddddd stories: 1."Two of the kids at my school got into a fight over a parking place, and one somehow drove his super lifted truck OVER THE HOOD of the other kid's sports car. Fortunately, both of their parents bought them new vehicles so nobody learned any lessons." —xiphias__gladius 2."My best friend at the time happened to be on vacation with her family in the Bahamas the same week I was, but she was there for her 16th birthday and brought a few other friends with her. Right before her birthday dinner, her mom gave her a Tiffany's box with a silver keychain, and she had a full-blown tantrum — crying, screaming, and cursing out her parents — because the keychain did not have car keys on it. The kicker? The friends and I were standing there as witnesses as her parents just took the abuse, took us all out to an embarrassingly overpriced dinner in a limo, then proceeded to give her a car wrapped in a bow once they got home." —rockedthelobster 3."I went to a very privileged international school. The kid of a diplomat (who was also independently extremely wealthy) totally crashed out because their parents told them they would have to take the bus home from school instead of their Bentley, because apparently, he got caught cheating on exams. The idea of riding home with us 'peasants' (even though many were just as privileged as him, if not more) had him so screwed up that he threw a trashcan out of the window and screamed, 'I'm going to kill everyone in this school!!!' at the top of his lungs. It was an international school in a country without guns, so it didn't carry quite the same weight as saying that in the USA. Still, I was mildly surprised when literally nothing happened to him for it, and the school admin took a firm stance of 'nothing happened.'" —avaslash 4."One kid had a meltdown because his grandma was hospitalized and he couldn't spend his holidays in his other house in Réunion Island. He went there every holiday." —WiswisBrebis 5."I had a friend in college from a very wealthy county in Southern California. She straight-up grew up on the beach. While in the laundromat, she complained to another friend and me about a surprise care package her mom mailed her. One of the items was a custom pair of TOMS shoes. They were adorable. It was extremely thoughtful of her mom to send them in the first place. She even chose the pattern and colors. My friend was furious and claimed that they were ugly. She said she wrote a scathing note on the package and returned it to her mom. The other friend and I were in shock and didn't even respond. We couldn't believe she did this and told us about it, as if what she did was good." —its-how-i-roll 6."I played competitive cricket on Saturdays with about six guys from school (a fairly middle-of-the-road private school). The other seven came from a neighboring private school, and these fellas were completely loaded. The coach's son, Josh, was used to getting whatever he wanted. His dad bought him a brand new gaming PC, though this was in 2005, so it was not what we're used to seeing today. However, his dad told him he needed to save for the monitor. Of course, Josh thought his dad would cave and buy him one. We're at cricket training, and Josh and his dad have a very heated argument about getting a monitor on the way home. Josh absolutely loses his shit, screaming at his dad. He then picks up a cricket ball and whips it straight at his dad's head." "Josh is 17 and has a hell of an arm. And for anyone who hasn't held a cricket ball, they're a lot heavier and harder than a baseball. Josh's dad spent four days in the hospital, and Josh never got to use his brand-new high-end gaming PC." —BattleDancingQuokka 7."A senior once got wasted and somehow ended up driving his car through a wall into the dining hall. His parents stormed into the school the next day with a lawyer and tried spinning the story that the school's parking lot had 'too many turns on the roads,' which is how his car ended up in the lunch line. Somehow, this worked, and the entire parking lot was rebuilt. The family 'donated' a new dining hall that now has their name on it." —peywrax kid got caught cheating and went to lawyer daddy to plead their case that they were just being efficient and 'using their resources.' It halfway worked. They weren't kicked out, but did have to take a zero. Incidentally, the school received a nice donation at auction from the family." —Briaboo2008 9."This dude got gifted a new sports car from his dad. The dealership didn't have the color he wanted, so he had to wait two weeks. He threw a temper tantrum, screaming, cursing, and throwing things. I'm dead serious." —Medical_Tutor_7749 10."A girl's dad came to pick her up from school in their new helicopter. She threw a tantrum and refused to get in it because she had asked for a white one, and he had bought a black one. He ended up flying home alone and sending a driver to pick her up instead." —WinterSoldierFetish 11."A guy genuinely believed the WiFi password was a basic human right. He screamed, 'I'll sue the school!' when they changed it." —aeonstudio_official 12."A girl in my class called her mom screaming because the maid packed her 'everyday' diamond earrings instead of her 'school' ones. She threw her entire Louis Vuitton bag at a wall and started hyperventilating. The school nurse had to calm her down like she'd had a panic attack." —ukraian-valkyrie 13."This rich kid threw a fit during a fire drill because it interrupted his Fortnite game. He actually shouted the classic, 'DO YOU KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS?' while refusing to leave the building. Administration had to physically escort him out. Outside, in front of the whole school, he kept whining that standing in direct sunlight would 'damage his skin investment.' He literally said that. Apparently, he was on a $1,000 skincare routine. Then a bird pooped on his blazer. Dead center. Custom-made. Everyone lost it. Even the teachers were laughing behind their clipboards." —lucyyygrif0812 14."A rich kid I grew up with backed his Porsche onto a Honda Civic, and just walked away from it. He was just being a POS. Not even kidding, a week later, he had a new Porsche. His dad has a garage full of them." —PegCity-Handshake 15."When the girls' nanny came to pick her up, but she didn't have a game the girl liked on her phone, she started SCREAMING in the middle of the changing room, and the nanny was basically begging her to stop." —Critical-Milk8581 16."One guy got expelled from boarding school for stealing money. He stole someone's card to spend like £400 on some new shoes and whatnot. So his dad came and picked him up, landing a helicopter in the sports field to take him away. That flight would've cost so much more than what the kid stole." —goldlord44 17."My classmate's parents bought her a brand-new car and gave it to her in the parking lot of the school after school on her 16th birthday, and she had a meltdown because it wasn't the color she wanted." —ranchojasper 18."When I was in high school, someone arranged for THOUSANDS of rose petals to be laid out on the school lawn spelling this girl's name to ask her out to prom. This was while a plane flew overhead, towing one of those banners asking the question. He got rejected and freaked the fuck out. Their parents were beefing with one another. People were telling the girl to just go with him since his family spent so much money. He was clowned on relentlessly. It was pretty hilarious." —madhero3333 19."This girl's dad bought her an ugly yellow Hummer, but the parking spaces at our school were too small for her to park. Her dad went to the school with a donation and demanded that they combine two spaces into one and give her a designated spot. The school refused, so she had to park in this strip mall, climb a fence, and cross the fields to get to school and would arrive PISSED every day." —Due-Huckleberry7560 20."A guy smashed a $10,000 guitar over a post at school when he couldn't learn a song. Another guy rented a private jet to go to our end-of-year event and showed up with his bodyguard, who threw a tantrum for him because the restaurant didn't have a 45-year-old whisky he wanted. Another guy paid for a steel door to be put in his room with iris scanners so his parents couldn't get in after a fight with them when they were away. I have many more stories. This was in Singapore." —Logical_Business9541 21."We were on a school trip for 10 days. They rented three Airbnb apartments in one building – a girls' room, a boys' room, and one for the teachers. This kid had a full meltdown when he found out one of the apartments was not for him and his girlfriend. They also fought loudly and publicly through most of the trip." —passportwhore 22."A spoiled brat lost her shit because she lost as student government president (she was insufferable). She's now a congresswoman in my country." —MisanthropeInLove 23."A girl in my class once cried because her parents bought her the wrong color Tesla for her birthday. She literally said, 'How am I supposed to show my face in the carpool lane in a white Model X?!' The best part? She refused to go to school until they exchanged it — and they actually did. She returned a week later in a matte black one and acted like it was a personality trait." —NaughtyMira_ "I knew a girl who, by age 16, had totaled two brand-new cars. When her parents refused to buy her a new one and told her to get a job if she wanted a car, she threw a massive fit and complained, because 'how dare they make her walk to school?' I remember just staring at her and laughing as she complained. It made her so mad, but I thought it was hilarious." —CaptainFartHole What's the worst rich kid meltdown you've ever witnessed?

Air travelers should never put this precious item in security bins when going through TSA: ‘Stolen on a regular basis'
Getting robbed of this precious cargo will have you flying off the handles. For most people, there's no acute agony quite like the pain and panic of losing one's cell phone, especially at the airport. But a travel expert warns that digital devices are at high risk of being swiped by ne'er-do-wells when the gadgets are placed in the bins at security checkpoints. 'The thing I'm absolutely never doing when I'm going through TSA — I am not putting my phone directly into one of the containers,' swore Tiffany, an on-the-go pro, from Pittsburg, in a beware bulletin. 'It's always going in a zipped pocket in my bag.' The brunette's not being paranoid, she's being proactive. Tiffany explained to her over 297,000 TikTok viewers that she once innocently plopped her phone into a TSA receptacle, and was immediately reprimanded for making the grave mistake. 'The TSA agent looked at me and was like, 'You don't like your phone?' And I looked at him like he was a little crazy and I said, 'Yes,'' she recounted. 'He said, 'This is the fastest way to get it stolen.'' 'The number one thing they see stolen on a regular basis is phones,' Tiffany emphasized, 'and it's because they are left out and available — the lines can back up, you're not paying attention until you realize and it's too late.' It's a useful forewarning for frequent flyers. An Air France flight from Paris to Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, was recently forced to make a U-turn after a passenger lost their phone. There are a lucky few who do retrieve their lost or stolen electronics from TSA. In fact, the authorities claim that close to 100,000 lost items are recovered each year, per the TSA website. 'Passengers are encouraged to place their contact information on the outside of their electronics, such as laptops, in case the item is left behind. TSA will make every effort to reunite passengers with their belongings,' the officials say. 'Unclaimed electronics will have its memory removed and destroyed (e.g. laptop hard drive) or be destroyed completely (e.g. items with non-removable memory) to protect personal data after the 30-day holding period,' the noted. And who wants all that drama? Hoping to help folks avoid the chaos, Tiffany doubled down on her word-to-the-wise. 'Always make sure your valuables are zipped up [inside] your bag when they go through the scanners,' she urged.

Tiffany & Co. and Daniel Arsham Unveil "The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel"
Summary The ongoing creative dialogue between legendary jewelerTiffany & celebrated contemporary artistDaniel Arshamcontinues to captivate, with the unveiling of their latest collaborative endeavor: The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel and an accompanying Limited-Edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear Necklace. This partnership, building on previous successes since 2021, once again showcases a remarkable fusion of fine art and exquisite jewelry. At the heart of this collection is The Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel, a masterpiece that embodies Arsham's signature 'future relic' aesthetic. Inspired by Tiffany's historical 1885 redesign of the Great Seal of the United States (which appeared on American currency) and Arsham's own 'Study of the Eroded Penny' (2013), this patinated bronze sculpture reimagines an ordinary penny as an ancient artifact. Meticulously handcrafted and finished at Arsham Studio in New York City, each vessel is embedded with highly polished crystals that appear to break through the aged patina, creating a striking contrast that speaks to the passage of time and the beauty of decay. This limited-edition series consists of just 39 handcrafted sculptures, making each piece exceptionally exclusive. Hidden within each Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel lies the ultimate treasure: a limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace. This bespoke piece reimagines Tiffany's iconic HardWear collection, drawing inspiration from a necklace in the Tiffany archives dating back to 1962. Crafted in 18k white gold, the necklace is meticulously handset with over 1,000 diamonds totaling more than six carats and over 500 tsavorites totaling more than three carats. The use of tsavorites, a Tiffany legacy gemstone introduced in 1974, subtly nods to both the bronze patina of the vessel and Arsham Studio's preferred green hue. Each of these extraordinary works is delivered in a custom-made Tiffany Blue art-handling crate, complete with a matching blue box and dual-branded white gloves, emphasizing its status as both a work of art and a valuable collectible. This collaboration continues to push the boundaries of luxury, transforming an everyday symbol of value—the penny—into a powerful emblem of luck, luxury, and timeless artistry.
