Airport Security at KLIA lackadaisical?

Reading this news story,Cops arrest debonair foreigners suspected of involvement in luggage theft three{3} things stand out.

1. The debonair foreign thieves have been able to operate with apparent impunity for at least a year, and they can even afford to rent a Condominium in Ampang,
2. The confident and 'charming' thieves were apprehended apparently only after a 76 year old Senator's luggage bag was stolen,
3. The CCTVs in operation were used to identify and apprehend the thieves.

Questions rushing through my mind are:

• Did the Police and Airport Security officials only jumped into action AFTER a Senator's [read VIP] bag was stolen, and he made a loud complaint?
• If the CCTVs were so effectively used in identifying the thieves, how come the flamboyant thieves were "allowed" to operate for a year before they were caught, and that because some VIP lost his baggage? Which means to say, there is NO standard operating procedures for viewing and reporting on events recorded by the CCTVs at all? I am totally ignorant on security matters, but I would have guessed someone in the Security department would want to view the CCTVs after EACH complaint of lost bag is received from the public?
  

Do the security officials only operate only on perceived "importance" of the complaints? 

The Government just announced its approval to increase airport taxes for International travel, and I hope it's not to pay for the bonuses of the airport security officials for a job well done..
