I still dont understand why people keep checking their bags at PHL and then complaining they are lost to the media.
I know they need to fix the issue. So dont blast me on that.
I expect it when I fly PHL. I tell the people when I check my bag (if I have to) just to keep it behind the counter till I come back. At least I will know where it is.

They always laugh and say dont worry I have faith you bag will get there. Then I laugh and I watch the black hole suck it in!
Seriously people come on buy a small roll aboard with your clothes for a few days and all the important stuff if you are going somewhere and doing something important.
