A report from an airline industry insider explains that airports rarely use guards to verify bag tags because it is a simple cost-benefit calculation for airlines. It is often cheaper for airlines to pay out claims for lost or stolen bags than to fund the labor required for strict security at baggage claim areas. This "Pinto effect" ensures that security measures only increase if theft rates exceed the cost of prevention.

This change in cost-of-living calculations would effectively lower the standard of living for the elderly.
