Actually (in the specific case of Singapore) try the CX baggage agent Dnata

I think Dnata still has presence in T1. Again, ask their call centre to see if they can confirm or deny.

Ask Dnata what they do with a 2 hour bag? I suspect it'd still be retained at the baggage services desk as if passenger is presumably detained by ICA SG?

I'm not sure if my friend namedropped Irvins
But if the T2 man with the gun insists on a stamp, namedropping Irvins/Charles & Keith/even Chanel isn't really gonna move him, is it?
