Who steals at the Airport?

In a country with such endemic corruption as ours, theft is always around the corner. The society breeds youths with very low moral values as the generation before them have thought them 'The Way of profligacy'. This is evident in all sectors of the economy from Aviation through to Maritime (wharf rats) etc, this leads to the question "Who steals @ the Airport?"

It is safe to say that every airline has to do everything within its powers to secure check in baggages. So who steals?
Not the frontline staff - its hard for a check in agent (3rd party contractors((Nacho / Sachol)) or direct staff) to have contact with a bag after check in. So, where do the bags go after check-in?
Baggage Hall- bags of all airlines roll down the belt and get sorted by Airline then by flight number and destination before loading onto the relevant Aircrafts.
This is mostly accessible to third party contractors, security agents and a few airline staff.

In case of delays and for other reasons, bags are left in the baggage hall under the watch of 'Airline Security' as well as 'Airport Security'.

Rumor has it that a high number of bags are pilfered in the baggage hall (where Airport security cameras are) as well as Aircraft hold where bags are loaded on the aircraft. The pertinent questions should be:
1) How do they get items stolen out of peoples bags past 'The Airport security'?
2) The Airline's security team also have questions to answer, as they search every staff that goes into the aircraft hold, as well as escort bags to & from the aircraft.
3) What is the security situation of the 'Out Station', that foreign station where passengers are coming from (eg Johannesburg which is notorious for this)

A system that allows for theft to easily occur on passenger baggage is suspect, as items could also be placed in them!

Passengers are also advised NEVER to check in valuables like Cash, Jewelry, Laptops etc. Any one that falls victim can check 'The Montreal Convention' to know his/her entitlement.
