I fully understand that rush bags are different; although until tonight I did not know they had a cute name assigned like that.
I agree that there is a huge difference between a rush bag and one where a passenger has simply not shown up after checking in for a flight. If everyone treats this as suspicious, why did it happen, especially on heightened alert like that? And where do I deal with it/report it?
As mentioned in post #1, these bags flew Newark to Gatwick on Friday night unaccompanied by the passenger, who no-showed.
