Due to the extensive problems the TSA has had with its employees damaging property and stealing from passengers' luggage, the TSA should take a simple step to single out the worst TSA employees and discourage property damage and theft. All the TSA needs to do is eliminate anonymous inspections by making it mandatory that every baggage inspection notice that goes into an inspected bag gets stamped with the name (or employee number) of the TSA employee who conducted the search and the time, date, and location of that search. Each failure to include a stamped baggage inspection notice would result in a reprimand.
Under this simple system, the TSA could easily identify TSA employees who are stealing the most or causing the most damage. Why has the TSA not already implemented this amazingly simple solution? (Hint, there are at least five good answers to this question.)

TSA Ignored Potential Full-Body Scanner Cancer Cluster
TSA staff raised concerns about incidences of employees developing cancer, strokes, and heart disease. The TSA officially dismissed the concerns by stating, "Because TSA systems comply with federal regulations, the increased risk of developing radiation-induced cancer in later life is extremely small, no greater than other risks people routinely accept in their daily lives".
This statement essentially says, "Regardless of the health problems you are seeing, the federal government says the machines are safe, so they are safe."
What if it turns out that for the first time in history, the federal government is wrong about something? What if thousands of TSA workers begin developing cancer in the next few years and millions of frequent flyers eventually develop similar problems?
