26 million bags were not lost - most were delayed in connection. Which means you ran to your next flight and made it just in time, but your bag travels slower than you do. In any case, you got it back a few hours or a day later, all contents intact (or did you cheat the insurance? haa? :)
Few (although some) baggage handlers have the time to ruffle through your bag ni the short time they strive to load, unload, and transfer hundreds of bags from one flight to the next twenty.
The fact is that most baggage handlers are honest, while a few are not. Like in any business.
Sorry, but you're wrong.

Edit: Thanks for the downvotes. Lovely. For refuting the OPs ridiculous claim that:
"The fact is that baggage handlers at airports are criminals who make money stealing things. There are exceptions, I am sure a few are honest. Not many though."
I worked in baggage handling for 10 years. I never saw anyone steal anything from any bags. Nobody opened any bags without witnesses (supervisors). I saw delayed bags due to - in order by reason - 1.) misconnection due to delayed flights, 2.) baggage airport system failures 3.) Weather (indirectly causing point 1, 2 and 4) 4.) Human error (rare).
I have found that if you have anything valuable-ish in external pockets to your luggage, it will usually disappear. e.g. change in a bag; CD's & DVD's etc.
I'm sure the baggage handlers that do that don't make it obvious to their co-workers.
