(Yeah, yeah, I realize it says 'security cleared baggage', but that's a worthless statement - if if wasn't security cleared, it wouldn't be in a secure area now, would it? And you could just save a tag and toss it on any OTHER bag...)

So has anyone taken a green tag, put it on their regular checked luggage, and got it back at the gate?


That said, I gate-check all the time and have never had a hint of one being lost, but I imagine that's pretty hard to do on the EAU-MSP legs where there only is one gate at EAU...
