Or Cambridge dictionary
heritage - valued objects and qualities ............... that have been passed down from previous generations:
legacy - something that is a part of your history or which stays from an earlier time
No mention there of old or elderly! Value seems to be the common theme!
From Tunbridge Wells - I feel that the focus on baggage tags is something of a smoke screen. A baggage tag can not bully or intimidate, it is just a tag whatever colour it is, likewise a pen. The inference a person places on the tag is a different matter and that is personal choice. You can choose to be bothered by them, or not!
In some ways it is useful to be able to see a persons allegiances just by looking at their bags, rather like the Nazi's made people wear symbols on their clothes. If BA were to insist that the strikers wore something to identify them there would be a public outcry. For the life of me, I can't understand why someone would want to be identified in such a way.
