all bags checked in at that island - I thought it was merely for the bags that were checked in at that desk. Easy for you to point out now (after the above posts) "you should have known" but not obvious to me (or my Girlfriend) before the inspection.
Again it comes back to whether customers should know they have to race (as much as you disapprove of that term, I refuse to change it because that is literally what has to occur) their bags to the monitor and whether the agent has a duty to inform the passengers that this occurs in TPE (certainly not all airports have end-of-island screening - some have it in a back-office area out of sight of passengers).
