One of the funnier aspects of staying at Logan for far too many hours was the chance to see some of their luggage handling: In plain view from the terminal E area where I spent my time was a transport tape apparently used to distribute checked luggage between different planes. For most of the time I was waiting, this transport tape wasn't moving.
Nor were the suitcases that had found a permanent residence on that tape. At that moment, I was grateful that NWA's broken transport tape at check-in had caused me to take my suitcase as carry-on luggage.
