seeks to retrieve it.

And then arrange to transfer it to the FBI with or without senior airport authorities' assistance. (and hope there might be a reward--lol )

be willing to kill to get it back. Remember there are cameras everywhere today, maybe the owner would give me a reward.

They prob have yours now and what is the chance there is something in it that will identify you and help find you. You only really have 2 choices, go to the FBI or run.

If there is nothing inside like a weapon it wouldn't be opened. I'll assume no drugs etc.

PS. I tried to join the TSA and went through tests to detect suspicious items. Paper isn't going to look like much.
