Ah but if you reach the front of the line at precisely 2pm, as I did once, you may walk up to the desk to see the retreating back of the lone agent going off-shift (having started at 6am).
When finally served by an agent in another line, I was told that it was now too late to check bags for my flight.
The security-man who was called to take me away afterwards quite agreed I was justified in going berserk.
