... Also scans fellow pax on boarding - no, not checking them out but looking for other FT bag tags (and smirking at no/low-status luggage tags that are 3 redesigns old).

Hmmm. I did see a brand new QF leather cabin bag with an equally new WP tag on it in the HEL lounge. I did spend the next few minutes straining over my glasses to see who would pick it up. Alas, it seemed abandoned. Can only assume the owner was at the sharp end of the scotch bottle in preparation for a trip on those "bad AY seats"...
