During the wait, I visited the customer service counter and was told there were some difficulties handling the last bag (not sure what that means, but that's what they were told, so..)

Is this common for AA? or is it more of an airport problem, MIA?

I know AS has a 20 min gurantee on baggage. Is there such a thing on AA?
MIA luggage delivery is poor at best. I've personally had luggage delivered that late in MIA and suffered pilferage as a result. The longer it sits idle the longer the staff gets busy on it.
