I just got through watching the DFW baggage handler that takes
checked baggage from the x-ray machine back to the conveyor belt. He
went out of his way to be rough with the bags--tossing them high in
the air to land upside down--when simply placing it on the belt would
have required less effort.
Perhaps he works even harder for bags marked priority :-)

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.
