In a "previous life" I averaged five flights to somewhere every week and to be truthful, never had a luggage problem. Most of the time though I was your typical business type with the requisite 2-suiter and attache case. I also got to spend a lot of time in airports and met a lot of airline folks. I'm sure he'd have gotten possibly fired for it, but I had a long association with a guy who gave me a grand tour of baggage at Hartsfield in Atlanta...one of my favorite airports. SIMPLY AMAZING!!! I was totally gassed, but at the same time I was very impressed with the flow, I was equally impressed with the possibility for serious damage. Of course I don't think any machine can match a baggage handler for sheer brutality!!!!!
