It certainly gives employees an incentive to not care about the safety of anyones bag. I don't know if that's just for this airport (Miami?) but I'd be shocked. It would provide a nice incentive for employees not to follow up contacting the owner correctly (or removing any id and claiming it had none). If anything, they should give them to charities to sell.
