Damage resulting from Transportation Security Administration (TSA) inspections.

Written notice should be placed in the inside of your luggage or a seal may be placed on the outside of your luggage if the Transportation Security Administration has made a random search of your bag.  Contact them at 1-866-289-9673 if you feel there was damage done during their inspections.  Contact Freedom Air Agents as well.
