    Yeah! Back when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's when checking your bag was still free, the luggage handlers outside at the curb would want to see your plane ticket to verify that you're actually a passenger, put a ticket on your luggage and give you the tear off stub. When you got to your destination and picked up your bag from baggage claim and went to walk outside the airport there were airline employees standing at the exit checking to make sure your stub matched the one on your baggage. If it matched you were allowed to leave the airport with your bag. Those "luggage guards" as my mother called them were a permanent fixture at airports.
    What the hell happened to them?

    I remember a time when you could not leave baggage claim with baggage if you didn't have the matching stubs. They actually checked everyone. Not sure how it went if you lost your stubs, as I kept them secure. I assume that you had to somehow prove that the luggage was actually yours once nobody else showed up to collect it with the stubs after a certain period of time. That was also a time when you had to be dressed appropriately to fly, before flying somehow turned into a virtual Greyhound bus ride in the sky.

    Honestly. Your airports are so different to ours in the UK as baggage claim is located airside which mean you cannot get into that area unless you have a ticket and gone pass security. Only way is if another passenger did take the bag. Thankful I have never had any trouble with my luggage when travelling.

  • @MMCUSN

    There used to be a security check point with physical barriers at the baggage claim and you would have to present your ticket and they would match it to the tags on the baggage. I don't fly anymore if I can get there by automobile.

    The air tags is a good idea. But also put mini key padlocks on your luggages so they don't get opened by whoever is handling them.
