I've come to the conclusion that there's no point worrying about it, or over-thinking it. If it happens, it happens and life goes on.
There are some airports/airlines where I know to worry and I spend time planning around that. Other airports/airlines never check so I don't worry. The more data points we have about which airlines check and at which airports, the better, because it can us plan more effectively.
