DALLAS — Southwest is increasing its security around customers bags at Love Field as they try to reunite the luggage with the owners, airline officials told WFAA on Wednesday.

Bags are now roped off with employees monitoring them, as opposed to days past, where luggage was merely lined up against the wall in the baggage claim area.

Airline officials told WFAA the barriers and rope added to the area were to “ensuring the security of Customers’ bags as we work to reunite them to Customers.”
