Only once in my life, years ago, in Atlanta Airport, there were people who matched your check-in luggage paper-receipts to the luggage you carry out.
As you can imagine, half of the people could not find the receipts and there was a lllooonnggg line just to leave the baggage claim area. Not to mention that, easily, a scammer can take his junkie luggage tag and put it on your fancy luggage to carry it out.
You have a very good point!!! I am surprised that none of my luggage was ever stolen yet, especially in sketchy airports outside the USA.
The only solution I can think of is self-service of people scanning the luggage tags they took out AND their boarding pass in order to leave.
