Careful with your baggage ex MAD. It appears there is a growing number of reports about stolen property and, what is even worse, stuff being put into the bags. Apparently some handlers are breaking into the bags during the loading of the bags into the hold, where there are no cameras, and the preferred targets, so the article claims, are the business class bags, because they are loaded first and this gives the thieves more time to go through them. Unfortunately I don't have a link in English, but if you want to try your Espaņol, read this.
Ahh that explains why it took 45 minutes for any bags to come out from a domestic trip GRX to MAD....
