Here's what I don't understand about this stranded luggage. After 9/11, wasn't there this whole new law and push about bag matching on airplanes - meaning if you were not on the plane, your bag was not allowed to be on the plane? I remember such a big hubbub made over this, that if you skipped out on the flight at the last minute, the plane was held up until your bags were removed from the underbelly. So how is it that these bags have now become separated from their owners?
Here it is - went into effect Jan 18th, 2002

And another thing a bit on topic - the real ID that was put in place after 9/11. We all had to prove ourselves and and get new licenses with a special kind of fruit symbol on it so we could fly. It was oh so important to know exactly where everyone on a plane or going into a government building lived. 9/11 happened 21 years ago and I just read the real ID requirement deadline is now May 7th, 2025! This is almost 24 years after 9/11. The fruit on my new license will be rotten by then! If proving yourself was so important in 2001, why is it taking 24 years to get it done? Government needs to be stripped back to the basics and start from scratch - an insurrection maybe.
Here it is - passed in 2005 and originally supposed to take effect in 2008.

DOT: Bag-matching rules for airlines go into effect Friday
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta said today that airlines will have to positively match all bags on all domestic flights by Friday. But aviation IT officials say automated systems can handle only 50% of flights and bags, leading to the prospect of flight delays.

Funny stuff, this guy has been at this type of thievery for years.
He's mentally unstable and should be locked away. IDK where people get off thinking that we have to accept this kind of crap, and go so far as to encourage it. The guy is off his ****ing rocker. He should be in a home for the mentally ill.Funny stuff, this guy has been at this type of thievery for years.
Same as every other Democrat.
I'm dying that Vanity Fair did a piece on his "style" and showed him modeling clothing he stole from other people. 
Some fashion designer saw the piece and was like, "Hey! That's the outfit that was in my stolen bag!!"

That was my thought originally, that he wasn't taking random bags, but being very selective and taking known one-of-a-kind or expensive stuff.

The only way this makes sense is if he stalks people checking their bags because he has to identify both the owner (to see if they have nice taste in clothes) and to see if they are on his flight. That's a lot of effort to go unnoticed.

I wouldn't put it past him.
Maybe it's a numbers game. All the "lost luggage" is Sam Brinton cobbing them and throwing them out if he gets someone like me with a suitcase full of t-shirts and flip flops.
Because you're right - it's easy to see which passengers are stylish and well dressed, but now you have to match them with a suitcase...

You pay attention when they drop the bags off before flight. Yeah, you'll probably miss some if they use the outdoor service, but if you sit near the ticket counter, you'll spot them as they hit the kiosk or ticket agent.
I once arrived at my gf's house in Norway and she started to unpack my suitcase...it was chock full of Victoria's Secret lingerie, bras, panties, negligees, and a bunch of cheap porno magazines.
My ex-wife had managed to sneak in my house and "repack" my suitcase just prior to my trip. She was a truly hateful thing..but very creative.
I dunno why this Sam Brinton thing brought back that memory...

Nope. And thank goodness for my gf's sense of humor. She sent one of the bras back with a note: "Thanks for the thought, but way too small for me"..
Good times....good times...
