Welcome, and yes, report it...
An interesting conversation with the United Baggage Manager at SAN yesterday- He told me they are seeing double the number of checked bags... average 218 bags per flt vs. 105 bags per flight prior to last Thurs. He said it is causing major problems with handling of not only the bags themselves, but an issue with cargo space due to the additional checked bags. It took almost an hour to get bags up last night at 5pm, due to five flights arriving within about 10 minutes and only three carousels... Such fun.... sigh....

He also indicated they are concerned about baggage theft, again...
