We all know about the gate lice that hang around the boarding door and surge forward at the first announcement, regardless of the number printed on their boarding pass. But significantly less has been written about the lesser-known variant of this phenomenon, the baggage carousel lice. Let’s just call them luggage lice. Perhaps because it does not have the same ring as their more prominent gate lice relative, or perhaps because everyone has to get on the plane, but not everyone has checked-in luggage, less is known about the species. But they exist, and they are infuriating.
