#3If EasyJets systems are anything like their customer service, their in-flight food, their baggage handling or their scheduling, this is not surprising.

Is baggage handling specific to an airline? It looks like it's a service provided by the airport.

Of course the attacks have to be “highly sophisticated” in order to beat the “world-class” system that “highly paid” EasyJet security experts have put in place to secure customer data, which EasyJet “cares deeply” about.

It depends on the airport and the airline.

Generally you are right yes, it is airport service under one of the operating company of the airport.
However easyJet and other low cost airline have generally a very vertically integrated system where they try to operate almost everything themselves to reduce cost.
Some airport have entire dedicated terminal for them, I would not surprise if they manage also their luggage system in these airports.
