What a strange comment. Maybe the poster has not compared theft data recently comparing the major US airports with others in the world. With the exception of a handful of well-documented non-US trouble areas such as LHR it seems that most of the most serious baggage theft problems are in the US. I have not reviewed the data recently so I am not sure what the relative safety is these days.
Somebody reading these posts probably does have the data close at hand. It would be interesting to have facts and not just prejudice to inform us.
