I use them on my carry on and computer briefcase, never once was asked about using special lines.
Got off NRT JFK 02/11, was given welcome and escorted through CBP immigration and custom checkpoints by DL personnel.

OK, I have seen "DYKWIA" over and over again in the DL forum. What does it mean? It's not listed in the FT glossary. It must be a term specific to DL, like FO (which IS in the FT glossary). I think the D stands for Diamond but can't figure out the rest!!!!

Ouch.
I have flown three flights now with the new metal DM tags and I am ready to take them off. They are noisy, as others said. Also, the one on my roll aboard has gotten bent into a shape that would allow it to be used as a scoop.
OT- a TA at EWR was amazed yesterday when I scanned the DM tag on my backpack to bring up my itinerary at a kiosk. She didn't realize you could do that.

Well, whattaya know? I got my bag back from the vlaet off a CRJ flight today and it was bent in half. I was crushed. I noted some Golds and a Platinum snickering at me. I had a Mentos moment and then bent that tag right back ..... good as new, with a well travelled look... I then told the Golds to try that with their crappy plastic tags. They lowered their heads in shame. I only made them kiss my ring once time and sent them on their way to the Fairfield Inn...

Question: if customers make DM on mostly non-flying MQM offers and very few BIS miles, are the tags or the customers called "Kettle Bells"? Just sayin'...

As to the topic. I put tags on checked luggage only. Even though proven wrong by experience, I do this the hope that lost luggage might be found easier and handled with priority.
I just do not like things dangle from my carry-ons. I liken it to trinkets hanging from a rear view mirror. That said, to each his own. I do not care what is dangling from your luggage.
But I am curious who could build the longest daisy chain of luggage tags. Who will out him/herself as a hoarder? - Yes, you can call yourself a sentimentalist. lol
