Someone please explain to me why we are paying exorbitant “security taxes” as well as exorbitant baggage fees?

USA Today has a story about baggage theft by an American Eagle baggage handler and this gentleman managed quite a significant take. 

Let me point out that when you charge fees in the name of security, etc, then there is an obligation to protect people from these thefts.  In addition, IF THIS MAN CAN STEAL THIS KIND OF STUFF TO THIS LEVEL, ISN’T THAT A CREDIBLE SECURITY WHOLE AS WELL?

After all, he’s accessing baggage that is TSA processed.  If you can steal from a bag, you can put a bomb in a bag.  Food for thought.
