Oh my. Had the baggage handers been attentive to separating the few special bags, they might have not had anyone's bags ready in 20 minutes. Anybody who thinks the priority tags (OW or otherwise) are worth anything domestically are just fooling themselves. I'll vote for everyone's bags in ~22 mins vs. priority bags in 18 and the remainder in 30--or far worse, which is often the case with other airlines at SAN.
