Baggage tumbling out of trolley onto tarmac at DFW

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I'm sitting here in "The Lounge" at DFW and about 5 minutes ago a red tug came flying along behind the planes with a bag cart in tow and bags tumbling out of the cart! I can see 4 pieces that dropped out and rolled along the ground. A bunch of blue tugs, maintenance trucks, catering trucks etc. have steamed right past without stopping. 2 pickup trucks came by, stopped and looked at the bags and left them. Seems strange to me...No concerns about security or how the bags got their / where they need to go?

If you see something; say something.

Imagine the news you could make if you call in reporting seeing suspicious bags abandoned on the tarmac.

Other people in the lounge mentioned it to the attendant who just shrugged, said nothing they can do about it...Sorry for the late post, bags got picked up frantically by what looked like the same guy who dropped them about 20 mins or so after I posted, just find it strange that no one else that drove by was the least bit interested

I have also seen this a couple of times at DFW. I think this standard procedure for AA as the last time I saw it, their baggage trucks are designed in such a way that this is easy to happen.
