They do these bag receipt cross checks with some frequency at JFK and LGA when coming off a flight and picking up bags landside. I have also seen these checks done at some Latin American and Asian airports. At least at JFK and LGA, AA has been funding many of these checks. BA pays for such checks at some foreign airports, but I've never seen BA do this at LHR.
