There is a lot of luggage.

Even though there are many great pieces of technology, things can go wrong. Tags can get stuck in belts or adjacent pieces of luggage and ripped off. People can take a bag from the wrong cart and put it on a plane it;s not supposed to go on.

The really bad situations occur when there is an overload of bags, and they are taken off the belts and just stacked someplace (yes, I’m talking about you [Schiphol](https://nltimes.nl/2023/07/04/thousands-bags-still-stuck-schiphol-malfunction-six-days-ago).)
