Take a look at the 3 baggage tags:

This was from a trip today. 3 bags, 3 different people, same TSA employee sending the bags thru the scanner.

I noticed that at the outbound airport, the same marks were placed on certain bags.

I watched the TSA employee grab a red marker and marks the tags on certain bags with a red mark. At first I didnt think anything of it, but on the return flight I noticed the red marks again.

If you notice on the tags there were only 2 of the 3 tags marked. There was a difference in the contents of the marked bags, and I hope thats not why they were marked.

But my suspicion arose when I noticed that the one tag wasnt marked and I correlated the bags with the marks and their contents compared to the unmarked tag.

Maybe its coincidence which is why I put this question out..... does anyone know the relevance of the red sharpie marks on the tags???
