So, you may dislike this process, but it's hardly extraordinary.
People leave that stuff accidentally. If they don't claim it after a reasonable period of time, sure, sell it. Nothing unusual there.
TSA is confiscating stuff and either selling it off or giving it to others to sell off. That's theft.
