A thief is a thief, but how dumb is this woman that she leaves her Rolex in the tray and walks off? Kinda like forgetting to put your gear down.
Watch out for those TSA mental detectors. If they see you have a brain they'll think you'll use it to see them for what they are and detain you!

Everyone knows by now that you have to go through the TSA circus. Why not put the watches, cell phones, change, etc. into a pocket of the carry-on prior to going through? Many times I've seen the bins get turned over and everything dump. Saves time and clutter on the belt/slide.
That is exactly what I do when I am preparing to go through the "TSA circus". Everything of value I own goes into a zippered inside pocket of a carry on. Watches, jewelry, cameras, prescription drugs you name it. To many times TSA has rifled my checked bags and things have turned of missing. I quickly learned TSA never takes responsiblity for the missing items. Heck you can hardly get them to return a call to report the missing items much less file a claim. One TSA supervisior took 3 weeks to return a call and then refused to do anything about a missing piece of jewelry.
What is the matter with that theif? There are six figure Rolex watches passing through every hour at Ft. Lauderdale, so he steals a steel starter watch at $6.5K?
How do they know he left on a flight? He might have turned around and left the terminal.
Who designed the security cameras that saw the theft, but not the face?
How about a check system where you get a chit for the tray, and an airline employee takes the chit and returns the tray. Brass chits for economy, silver for business, and gold for first class. Pilots would get diamond chits, and cabin staff gets rainbow chits.
