I use them because my brain doesn't read barcodes and they are a good way of identifying my rather generic looking Samsonite roller case.

The key ring thing looks good. I think that I saw a colleague of mine with something similar securing his LH tag.
Your name is on the barcode sticker also.

And for extra validation, look at the last 4 digits on the bag sticker, compare with the sticker they put on your boarding pass/passport to be truly certain its your bag.

I've yet to see the sticky tags ever come off, but have seen and heard of dozens of w****r tags disappear randomly. so the regular tag method seems more reliable too.
