They must be reading FT!

What's the point though? I doubt many people are as sneaky as SAP's colleague and the tags can't be removed and transferred to another bag without noticeably damaging them. Since they're not focusing on weight (which can easily change from trip to trip), this doesn't really add anything to the enforcement and just adds time.
