Don't know about Phoenix - but TSA isn't anywhere near the baggage claim areas for the airports I frequent - DFW/SFO/SMA/ABQ/SLC/DEN - they are all at the entry control points into the restricted concourse areas.
Dallas Love Field used to have airline personnel at the baggage claim exit points and you had to show a matching tag on luggage and stub w/airline ticket to be able to exit with the luggage - hasn't been a requirement for a couple of years now.
Looks as if somebody decided to ignore the baggage claim 'honor' system...yet again. Shocking.
