Who cares if it doesn't have a tagged bin under it. Can you not manually grab it and pull if you need to?

Were you at TLH? Flew with a guy that had that issue there when they first started using the new, slow, pos machines. Their solution was drop it at ticket counter, gets run through luggage machine, then pulled and brought up jetway to him.
