Reminds me of a joke. The airport practically strip searches you, somebody is looking at your junk with that big scanner thing, then you have to take off your shoes and they pat you down and all your stuff gets searched. Then you get to baggage claim and it’s like - sure go ahead take any bag you want!

This is my fear anytime I travel. I wonder how often it happens that somebody just takes a pick of their complementary luggage.

I once had a guy come up to the carousel and grab my luggage in front of me. I stopped him, he said "Sorry", but the weirdest part is that he didn't then stand around and wait for luggage like someone who had just got the wrong case, he immediately left the baggage reclaim hall very quickly with no luggage. It always stuck in my mind as odd. I'm pretty sure he was trying to steal my case rather than making a genuine mistake.

I don’t know but I know my dad accidentally stole someone else’s bag once, but of course since they had his left there looking just like the missing one, it didn’t take long to get it sorted out.

Yep, they don't give a fuck about you or your luggage.
