I would be more inclined to check the bags at a hotel - either the Hilton at the airport, or a downtown location.
I have no data to support this, but I suspect there's a greater likelihood (or at least an equal likelihood) of bags being pilfered at a hotel.

As brp pointed out, this is just flat out wrong.

But other than these two points, I agree completely with your post.
