Yes, it is. I've even had someone step in front of me while at the carousel and grab my bag (when I was standing very near the start of the belt). An honest mistake based on circumstances I won't elaborate on, but still, I have a huge FT tag and another fairly large custom name tag on my bags, and have an "off" color which isn't as common (a dark red, and a light blue set--when the majority is black, bold red, or bold blue it seems).
