AC has effectively made the bag tags useless other than as a status symbol (literally and figuratively). A few years ago the tags had my name and address on them so that if my bag ever got lost someone would know where to forward them. Last year it got reduced to Mr. The Lev and for this year it is T. Lev.
If someone called AC to say we've found a bag label J. Smith, how on earth would AC go about tracking down who that person is?
We now need bag tags and address tags or just bin these stupid status tags.
