If you see suspicious and you notify the police right way.
The article doesn't explain when the bags are being targeted. We don't know if the thefts occur during the loading or unloading evolution, nor how a bag is targeted if that is indeed what is happening.
The obvious solution is to improve chain of custody, either through video surveillance, limited access while waiting to be loaded, or other means. None will be inexpensive or painlesss to the airlines and passengers.
