This will make you think twice about what you pack in your luggage. This happened at San Jose International airport.

And now it looks like airlines are going to have to start paying customers for damaged luggage. The Department of Transportation issued a notice to airlines after recent airport inspections “uncovered the fact that certain airlines routinely exclude liability for damage to specific parts of checked baggage.” Under current federal law, carriers are responsible for reimbursing damage incurred to handles, zippers, wheels, and other exterior parts of luggage left in their care. Airlines now have until January 9th, 2016 to review and, if necessary, revise their checked baggage liability policies or else face possible fines and enforcement action from the Department’s Aviation Enforcement Office.
