As far as TSA stealing, that mostly happens to checked luggage, as someone stepping out of the body scanner would realize their laptop/wallet just went missing and would complain immediately, and the screening area is loaded with cameras. Hence why you should never put valuables in checked luggage.
I caught a TSA screener reaching into my wifes purse just as it was exiting the x-ray. Suspected target a pouch with jewelery. I called him on it and he then pretended the purse had to go back through x-ray. Complaints lodged and no one at TSA did anything including the FLL FSD, at the time a Mr. Tim Lewis.

Nothing is safe around TSA employees!

Ask me what I think of TSA.
