There should be zero tolerance of any theft; TSA, Air Carrier Baggage Handlers or anyone. By the way there is theft in FedEx, UPS and USPS also.
Under your analogy:
The USPS should be disbanded because letters get lost or take longer than normal to be delivered.
NASA should be disbanded because they miss a takeoff schedule.
Electric Companies should be disbanded because you loose your power for a while.
I personally agree that baggage should be screened in front of the passenger then locked but what we found is that passengers do not want to be bothered. They want to drop it off and get going.
