19. You are overlooking quite a bit
>>"gets placed on conveyor belt and disappears..."

Wow. Magic.

You are only considering the portion of the process that you see. There is a huge difference between the secure baggage areas of a typical airport and the very public and accessible train platforms. There are a large number of security personnel at airports to monitor the baggage. Bomb detection systems and processes have to make sure that transported ammunition does not set off false positives (Amtrak is VERY worried about bombs since Madrid and London and threats are pretty common).
