Barring the odd exception, nobody does this. People say it's your fault when people check things like important medication. Nobody blames people for checking bags. They blame people for being careless enough not to understand that bags being delayed/lost is a possibility and therefore anything that's absolutely essential/irreplaceable (documents, keys, medication...) should stay with you at all times. If you can't comprehend that then yes, you really are stupid
