In today's New York Times, there is an article about air travel that is actually good news - our bags are getting where they need to go at a much better rate than in the past!
"A traveler may drop off a bag at the airport curb with a skycap, who may work for the airport, the airline or a third company. An airline worker takes the bag at the check-in counter and passes it to the Transportation Security Administration, which then sends it to the airline’s bag room to be distributed to the correct flight. And while the workers loading the bags on and off a plane can be airline employees, at many airports, they work for subcontractors."

Technology is largely the reason, but I'd like to think its because many of us no longer even check a bag, taking a tiny burden away from the system. I know, dream on....
