> You may never get your bags. This year, I've had a perfect record: 3 air trips, and my luggage got lost on all 3. And yet every single bag got delivered eventually. If you think about it, it's a matter of geometry: Airports don't have infinite storage space, so much as they'd like to lose luggage permanently, airlines have to deliver it to customers to make room for new lost luggage. And as bad as most carriers are, they wont resort to outright wanton destruction of luggage.
