Answer

Why are airport thefts in Mallorca hard to prevent completely?

Airport thefts are hard to prevent because terminals are crowded, people move quickly and staff cannot watch every shelf at once. Criminals also tend to target items that are small and easy to conceal. Prevention works best when security, store design and legal follow-up all support each other.
