It is not a hole in the sercurity. All bags are checked by TSA before they even enter the system. Therefore, while the bags get left behind, placed on a flight to Tibet, lost and flying random aircraft for the reminder of time, ect., it has already cleared security and has been deemed "safe".
While I still don't understand why carriers don't scan and track their bags like FedEX, DHL, and the other do. I don't buy the airlines position of "the cost of the system".
