Do you know how many things are left behind at checkpoints? On a flight I was on once the lady next to me realized she had left her laptop at the checkpoint. It happens all the time.

If TSA agents can't overcome the desire to take what is not theirs, they have no business doing that job.

True. But TSA turnover must be huge, and screening for honest people is no easier today that it has ever been.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

Totally. You're basically hiring people for a job that no one who is actually qualified for wants. It's the security equivalent of an IT help desk.
