[BTS Video] So This Is What Happens To Your Luggage During Your Delta Flight

Have you ever wondered what happens to your checked luggage after you check into your flight and leave it to be loaded on the conveyor belt? Well this video will show you just what happens to your prized belongings when they enter the hands of the airlines and the TSA. Six cameras were mounted in what looks like a pelican case so every angle could be documented. Obviously all of the bag handlers were aware they were being filmed (so who knows how authentic this 'experiment' actually is) but it's still pretty interesting to see how your bag gets from the Delta Terminal to your final luggage terminal in another city. Am I the only one who thinks if I did this the TSA inspectors would have turned my cameras off or changed their position? They never seem to leave my carry on lenses alone yet these video cameras go untouched. Nevertheless, thumps up to Delta for a creative advertising campaign.

Cool. Here's another one, by Vanderlande Industries in Heathrow's T5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dkPd7zUsv0&list=PLDAC341469E49E631&a...
I've actually been in this place and it's simply massive.

And here is another look, ok, maybe this is slightly satirical. :)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij_JuJAi4tw

I heard someone say that Delta stood for "Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive".  lol!  However, I really love this video.  Great idea!
