It just pisses me off when I have to go through security while the luggage crew is opening luggage, stealing stuff and getting drunk on the passengers' liquor.

If they can get stolen stuff out of the secure areas, they can get bombs in.

Actions like this in airports shows the pompous fallacy of our government's "homeland security".
