The TSA is the one organization that claims the right to open bags without the owners being present. While they are not the only point of pilferage, they are exposed as the most likely candidates. Thy have the equipment to select luggage of interest to them and the impunity to open it.

We all know that baggage handlers can open zipper undetectably with a ball point pen, but they can only search randomly. The TSA is capable of a much more focused approach.
