I agree 100%, but still we get members posting from time to time about their valuable stuff being stolen from their checked bags. I guess they aren't in their right minds.
And it doesn't really matter to me whether the stealing is being done by TSA or AA employees. Gone is gone.
He who steals from my checked luggage steals trash, to paraphrase Shakespeare.
