Thank god my airport screens bags in front of the check-in counters so we don't have this problem (this is going to change when Delta changes terminals, they want us to check bags in the back out of sight). Anyway so if you page a passenger to open up a bag and we can't open that bag until the passenger gets there what happens when the passenger doesn't show up? The bag can't go on the aircraft until the passenger is there with your scenario. Should the passenger and bag be kept from getting on the a/c?
