I can't believe this. Why not just go back to the old days with a paper/rubber-band style tag then?

I don't agree with this, but even if so, who cares? Why not just get rid of some safety checks to even things out?
So I pose the question to some of our loyal passengers here,.. Would you trade in on time performance for bag accountability?
False choice. I had no idea WN cannot trace bags throughout its system. Shame on them.
Me personally,.. I'm hoping that the scanning never becomes standard operation. Doesn't Southwest rank among the top for baggage handling? It's not worth the cost and drag on the operation to implement the scanning.
FedEx ranks really high on package handling and delivery. And they still
trace all their volume.
