Records show that cases of baggage theft have increased over the years at Sea-Tac, especially after the post-pandemic crush of passengers.

When checking in your luggage the airport should be able to attach an apple tag of sorts that can only be retrieved out of the claim area by the claimant with the same signal and number. As a thief leaves the area a siren will go off bringing an airline security attendant to address the situation and take the bag from the thief.
@TC-cd5sm7 ай бұрын
They can easily implement this. They just don't want to because it will cost the airlines more money for security. LaGuardia is one of the few airports in the US that will not let you leave the baggage claim area with your bag unless the bag tag matches your claim check. No claim check, the bag will not leave baggage claim.

Airports need to protect passengers with their own belongings. They need cordon off the baggage area and ONLY allowed to enter from the arrival flights area and should ONLY be allowed to exit Baggage Claim once they've matched the claim ticket(s) with the baggage.

I'm using the Seatac airport every year for foreign trips. There's no checking once you pick up your bag from the claim area so any person can pick up your bag and just go away. Also, anybody coming from outside the airport building can freely enter the claim area and can pick up any bag. Also, most passengers from abroad are hold up for a long time in the immigration counters while their bags are already in the claim counter ready to be pick up by anybody. These are the cause of the problems.
