Default Reverse Security

I know airline employees are screened before entering those areas, but are they screened coming out of those areas?

Cashiers need to count down their drawers, for example, and reconcile before they leave (and if they are off, they are disciplined- even fired). Truckers have a bill of lading that needs to be reconciled with the delivered load. While you can't eliminate all theft, if baggage pilferage happens with the apparent frequency seen on this board and others then I'd argue that not enough security and supervision exists to minimize any exposure.
