As a courtesy I should let the airline lose my bag or have their trusted and trained workers steal my small valuable electronics? Uh, no.
If they can't guarantee the security of my items while checked then I won't check them. If they say I have to do so to fly then I won't fly. And when the airlines whine about another bail out I'll say "too bad".
