i have no problem with them doing their job but where in there job does it say to be careless and disrespectful of others personal property? open my stuff up search through it do whatever you have to do to "fight terrorism" but atleast have some respect. and if you damage it tape it shut, they ripped the zipper out of half of the bag and then instead of taping all the way around the bag they put two peices along the zipper.
and honestly how does ripping through my bag help fight drugs thats what the x-rays are for, and all that was in my suitcase was clothes and one knife and a leatherman which are perfectly legal in checked luggage

I'm assuming it was a part of a random luggage check or some other reason, but that's part of their jobs. And at what did they go through it? Was it when you boarded the flight, after you sent it through the xray machine? Or was that suitcase large enough that it had to be tagged and stowed away in the cargo hold, and it got searched after you sent it into the luggage checkpoint?
Like I said man it sucks that they ripped apart your bag, and then did an insanely bad job at fixing it, but short of a complaint there's not much you can do about it. If I was in your position I'd be pissed too, but unfortunately you'll just have to live with it. If you want you can keep trying to get an apology out of someone, whether it's the airline or the TSA, but I get the feeling you'll just keep running in circles on that one.
