I ask them not to put the tags on. Joe, I've also been told by a couple of airlines that, if your bag gets lost and ends up sitting in a "figure out who this belongs to and how to get it there" area, those brightly-colored tags get the first attention. I cannot verify this from experience: after some lost luggage incidents lately, if the "priority" tags get higher priority treatment, I hate to think about what the rest of the bags are getting. john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
