    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.

    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.
    Some travelers even wrap tape around their luggages so it'll be easy to tell if the seal has been broken and the luggage has been opened by someone.

    • @MishaMishaSoprano
      @MishaMishaSoprano Před rokem +2

      Agree.
      Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for TSA employees intentionally break and discard these locks, because they're too lazy to grab the tsa key to open them to inspect luggage. Common at Tampa Airport. They've even broken built in tsa approved locks, permanently damaging new luggage.
      I have to buy multiple tsa locks because of this reason, and carry spare locks.
