Yeah, this is a good point. I suppose I check bags so infrequently that I think the last time anything went awry was around 1997, when I gave a Continental gate agent In SLC my paper Delta ticket and somehow they accepted it and let me on an earlier flight, even though my checked bag stayed on the Delta plane. A month later, the Intercontinental in Chicago called to say that my bag had been sitting in their closet for a month and was I ever going to come for it. Then the Airtag would have been useful
