Why does anyone want to use those awful red tags anyway?
And I also never understood the strange habit of adding tag-upon-tag on the same bags by some FF's.
Over the past 15 years, I have been given 6 sets of them and always threw them away...

I only rarely fly Y (internal Brazil) and even there it has not been an issue. In any case, Varig couldn't care less about a red tag dangling from my hand luggage (well, they didn't care about many things but that is another topic).
Heard of a former colleague, who tried to hand-carry some metal sieves for a laboratory from the US to Argentina. Check-in agent told him to check it in and he said "sure, after you provide me with a $ 1 mio insurance on this".... he hand-carried the items...
Check-in agent knows your status so tag should not matter (unless of course you haven't qualified and are back to FTL status now, does that help somehow?)....
Sometimes before actually boarding the plane a person will check for size of luggage and I have seen them taking luggage away from people for check-in right before the door. Is it here that maybe an advantage exists ? (SEN status on boarding pass also could be helpful here, no ?).

I only got 1 tag-set when arriving Senator-Status. The next 2 times I only got the new VISA Senator card.

But IMHO it would be also strange to put such a tag at a bag that one would never check in e.g. a notebook case.
