It's kind of a weird system because if I had a checked bag full of prohibited plants or fruits I could have just looked at the "A" that was written on my form and then decided to just leave that checked bag on the luggage carousel or tossed the fruit in the restroom or something. Maybe they don't have restrooms in the international baggage claim areas. I don't know.
