Sometimes there is. I've had security check my claim tag before exiting the carousel area at LAX before. But that's certainly not the norm, even at LAX. I suspect it's risk based. If they have reason to suspect there's ongoing theft, then they add additional layers of security. Outside of that... theft would be extremely risky. There's a good chance the owner is already at the carousel somewhere watching their bag come out, and there's cameras everywhere.
