Okay if you believe one cart of a baggage train from an airplane was 'mislaid' then that is what happened. BTW what color eggs do you want for Easter?

441 today ... the first bags showed up at about 18 min; most of those that came down early had the little AmEx shill tag and no visible evidence of priority (yellow tag, or status tag)
mine came down at 20 min; it has a status tag, and I got a yellow tag when I checked in at DCA, but it didn't show up with an AmEx tag attached
strangely, though, my big yellow FT tag is missing in action

Could you apply your farseeing abilities to find the keys I lost the other day?

A colleague's recent experience makes it appear that the ads are being applied by personnel hired by American Express marketing.
He arrived in SEA last week on the midday flight from MSP. Other checked bags come out after about 35 minutes. He and a half dozen other pax are left standing around, no bags. They stand in line at the DL baggage office, file their missing bags reports.
Report filed, he gets on the bus to the rental car facility and is headed to pick up his rental car when his cell phone rings. "Mr. xxxx, we've located your bag. Please return to the baggage office to claim it."
So he picks up his car, drives it back to the terminal garage, and heads to the office where the agent has several bags set out -- all tagged with the ads. The agent told him, sheepishly, that the contract guys from AmEx marketing had mislaid them while putting the tags on.

Seriously Delta... C'mon!
