Yeah, I would imagine it's quite a painful process. If Bob is missing from a flight, you can't just pull up his record and know you have to retrieve a "red Delsey full size 4-wheeled luggage"....but instead an agent will have to manually look through the whole cargo matching the barcode #, which might be in many cases - piled under many other luggage's.
