That last statement is why I said the statement I quoted isn't 100% correct. And in the real world, it IS correct to say that TSAers is not the sole source of checked baggage theft. And if I were a TSAer here, I would point that out as well.
However, the onus IS on the TSA here. They are the ones that require the bags be left unlocked, because of THEIR procedures. Ma and Pa Kettle can't think deep enough to realize that baggage handlers are a real source of thievery. In large part, that's because, again, the TSA puts the onus on itself with its requirements and its "we're saving the world" approach and PR tactics.
