I'm curious what the view looks like when the staff haven't been warned to be on best behaviour for the news crew. I once checked a bag in Toronto only to find myself standing in the baggage claim area in Halifax watching my socks, underwear, and tshirts slide out on the conveyor one by one, followed my my suitcase with one side squashed and the other side bulging, and the torn off zipper trailing behind it like a tail. Somewhere along the way, a baggage handler(?) had wrapped it in electrical tape to keep the larger items from falling out, but I was on a long work trip, so there was literally two months worth of socks and underwear I had to gather up while the other passengers stood around laughing. Experiences like that are the ones that need to be recorded to show how bags are really handled!

Only thing that really happened to I and my mother was a set of luggage getting stuck at San Francisco instead of being with us all the way, apparently security held it up and unfortunately that bag had a good chunk of my undergarments, it took them around a day to load it up onto another flight directly inbound to the Philippines and 2 more days to arrive due to the sheer distance. Fortunately there were stores that had sold underwear so I was spared from basically wearing the same thing for days on end or going commando.

Lithium batteries like are used in this camera are not allowed in the bin.

What probably happened is it was a planned thing the airline knee about and they sent someone to grab that one bag and do whatever that last part was.

@@RenanMsV_YT I've flown only twice by now (I'm Dutch) but the tags I got sure as hell were sturdy motherf'ers... Can't remember how I managed to remove it once I got to my destination, but it wasn't easy, that's something I do remember. RFID sounds nice, but become a problem (well, financially that is) when speed and reading distance is involved: reading takes time, reprogramming takes more time and doing both from considerable distance (you'll will need to be to do this without having to turn a suitcase around a number of times to get the tag within reader-distance). And as you want to keep the ordinary person from messing the tags' contents, it should be a secure tag, automatically lengthening the time to read/reprogram the thing. And even than, an RFID tag can get lost as well. Only insertion into the suitcase (thus requiring destructive force to remove it) would keep it from detaching from the object it is meant to identify.

Back in 1990 (when I was 19, immortal & impulsive) I worked at a ticket counter in a large airport. I really wanted to see what happened to the suitcases once they disappeared behind the luggage belt flap. We had these heavy duty plastic bins that were used to put differently-shaped miscellaneous checked items in, so they could make it down the luggage belt safely. One morning after a flight, when we were done straightening up the ticket counter, I sat in a tub and went down. Another coworker had done it before so I knew it could be done. It was a fun ride, certainly a lot quicker than walking an animal in a kennel down there. Employees could probably never get away with that now, especially with all the extra security after 9/11. I also sat on the belt for the carry-on luggage X-ray machine once, went in just enough so I could twist around and see my legs on the screen. It was late at night, the last flight had all its passengers and the employees in the screening area were waiting for us to let them know they could shut down. Ask a stupid question to the right set of people at the right time, and you can get up to all sorts of mischief. At least, you used to be able to.

You missed the part where the handlers throw it into the air when loading the cargo hold, after cutting it on a side to see if them can steal an iPad or some other valuables 😎

The separate bag fee is making a little more sense. Imagine the cost of all this, not to mention the upkeep and salaries.

Except that this system has been in place for a LONG time, and the bag fee is relatively new, comparatively.

The ASYNC’s storage solution is a perfect use case as a cheaper alternative. A threshold could be at the counter, and the other end at the cart loading area. Or maybe at the arrival destination.

This does seem like an overly complex process. It wouldn't be that difficult to just take our bags with us to the gate and dump them down a chute when it's time to board.
