You are storing something virtual "digital" in a wallet which is basically a software. Any number of factors can compromise the security of it, as someone above stated, malware or trojan is the most likely scenario. Ever of heard of keystroke copying? Even your super duper long weird bitcoin password can be compromised if you typed it and a keystroke trojan is recording your keystrokes when you type in your password. Take it one step further, if your wallet software Bither or whatever you are using is hacked from software side, you are even more vulnerable.
Keep thinking that Bitcoin in your wallet is safe and unhackable, you are plain dumb. Anything digital can be hacked. The NSA, FBI, have all been hacked and they run a far more sophisticated protection than your measly bitcoin wallet does.

I read many years ago that people were working on screen field collectors and keystroke audio deciphering things - not that anyone uses keyboards these days. Except me.
Who KNOWS what's out there, by now
The password seems like the weak link- that makes a lot of sense
Just be careful too of TSA
