Delayed luggage

Re the story County politicians miffed over luggage snafu: Why is it front page news when a group of local politicians have to wait an hour to get their luggage at MIA? I have been complaining for years.

Delays of more than an hour for luggage are routine at MIA. The baggage handlers don’t care how long the passenger has to wait, and the supervisors are worse.

I would rather pay a $25 baggage-fee to climb up into the plane to get my bags myself.
