I can't imagine what they would think when I run onto a SIDA ramp to grab (what is now a checked bag) that I plan on bringing back up inside a sterile secure area.
You know, this is a good point, and I've thought of it, but it is consistently suggested to me by pilots, gate agents, etc. Often mainline guys are right there with me or leading the charge. Go figure? The bag doesn't get the "checked to your final destination tag" just a gate-check tag. The bag handlers usually take the crew bags off too and place them next to the belt loader waiting for pick-up.
Beats me, man.
