News articles, quoting people who had stuff stolen and tried to get the thief prosecuted.
In one case, the TSA got the video recording showing the theft removed from the case because it revealed their "secret search methods". As a result, the thief couldn't be convicted.

AFAIK, what had been a problem with theft from bags is not anymore. While it is possible that an item removed from a bag was not placed back into it, this would be rare because they examine only one bag at a time. What I suppose is possible is that an item could fall to the floor and not be noticed by the TSO. This is another reason why the cameras can be helpful.
