Or just plain theft. She is on video taking a computer which isn't hers. That should be prima facia evidence for filing a police report stating "theft".
The question of motive is one for the courts. If they find her, and determine it was an accident, they can not charge her. But for the laptop owner, he has been unlawfully deprived of his property.
Even for the insurance claim alone, the police should have made a report. Otherwise, how is he going to file a claim? "Uh... I think my laptop was stolen. I saw the video, and talked to the police. But neither they nor the TSA would admit on record as to what they saw."
Laws are meant to protect people. But that requires the administrators of the laws to follow the laws, too.
