Obviously, like Judge said, everything you packed in your bag should still be there when you arrive at your final destination, but don't be so quick to blame the airline employees who don't want your stuff and don't have the time or motivation to take it. There are lots of other people who handle your bags between you checking them in, and when you get them back.
Justme....Google hidden camera exposes by CBS 60 minutes and MSNBC. You will probably find video evidence of airline employees who didn't want the passengers stuff, rifling through bags they weren't interested in, stealing stuff despite their lack of motivation and time. In fact, you may find that if you google long enough, you will find the disposition of court cases in JFK, Miami and Atlanta, where the baggage handlers of some pretty big airlines found they had plenty of time on their hands, not long after they had appeared before a Judge.

The airlines, to avoid being held liable, seek to exempt themselves from basic common law rights. In doing so, they are actively colluding with and condoning the small number of airline employees who are thieves.
