Not sure if contracting with the lowest bidder is the best way to ensure security.
I see that this notice provides a spot for the person who screened your luggage to put his/her ID. That's something the TSA needs to do to make it easier to track down items missing from screened luggage.

That said, I would imagine that a screener who is going to steal from luggage is not going to leave a note and makes it easier for the TSA to blame baggage handlers and others.
