I can perhaps see how sometimes this might be useful. Flew back from RUH on EK the other day (sat in the back unfortunately on this short hop) and was prevented from heading to the immigration queue to get my exit stamp by a gentleman who told me I needed some tags on my hand luggage. Cue me returning to the check in desk begging for a couple of tags, only to have the agent tell me that my small overnighter and rucksack is beyond that which is allowed for carry on as they are over the 8kg allowance (which is never an issue ex-DXB). I did manage to get through with them both without checking (eventually) but only after I pleaded my case as an EK GCH.
I would have avoided all of this if I just had some blue business luggage tags I could have put on my carryon and rucksack...
