It's not illegal to put electronics in your luggage.
It IS illegal to steal them.
Have we become so accepting of theft that we consider it victim precipitation for someone to place such items in there bags?
I'm not saying it's a good idea, but let's put the blame where it truly lies; with the criminals.
Personally, I believe that there should be a punishment enhancement for those who use their access in a position of trust to commit such crimes. I hope I'm not the only one.
