There is, but that would cost money/reduce profits and that is not acceptable.

Never put anything you aren't ok with losing in checked luggage.

That way all the thieves get is my dirty underwear.

Ideally, you want to get to baggage claim early so you can immediately see your stuff come out. And has your travel tags, so you can easily contest if someone tries to grab yours.

I don't want to go home with MY dirty laundry after a trip.

Last thing I want is some stranger's dirty laundry.

It's a pretty terrible risk/reward ratio for a thief.

Like you are going to a place trying to steal a bag that you know the owner is likely in the area, actively looking for the bag itself, and has the documentation to prove ownership if you come into a conflict. There is also an abundance of security around. Oh and there are cameras everywhere.

And you are risking all that to get a suitcase full of random clothes. It just isn't worth it.

So could you make a system that reduces the risk of theft? Sure but it's already a pretty low chance already.

Some Brazilian tourists were arrested because their luggage was found with drugs. Except, they never packed drugs in their own bags; airport luggage handlers here in Brazil switched stickers around (I'm not sure why) to bags that had the drugs in them. shit's scary as hell not gonna ngl lie.

A while ago a Brazilian tourist was arrested and sentenced to death for being caught with drugs in Indonesia, imagine if that shit happened and it wasn't even your fault the drugs ended up there, like holy shit
