Airlines Lose 30 Million Bags A Year

From Yahoo News[*1] :

GENEVA – If you’ve ever been frustrated after an airline lost yourluggage, you’re in the good company of millions of others. An estimated30 million bags were temporarily lost by airlines in 2005, and 200,000of those bags were never reunited with their owners, according to anindustry report released Monday.

We contributed to the 3 million with our trip to Europe last year, and nearly contributed to the 200,000 because the Air France baggage handlers had difficulty with the concept that Venice is in the north part of Italy.
