Guess they used to work for UPS.

In my consulting days I inspected the baggage handling at Sea Tac, and found that bags coming down one conveyor were moved to another by a hydraulic gate which slammed them across to the parallel conveyor. Very destructive. So form then on it was only carry ons.

Or Amtrak.

Almost 20 years ago I moved across the country.
You can (at least back then you could) take a LOT of baggage on the train.
They toss it in the baggage car(s) - 'Toss' being the operative word.

I saw how they handled my boxes at the end when I was in
30th Street station in Philly to claim them.
They were not unloaded yet - and I watched them TOSS them
off of the tail end of the baggage car.
From about Ten feet up - SLAM! Onto the concrete - SLAM! SLAM!

I then understood WHY when I checked the stuff in, they had asked me
'What was in the boxes?' and I when told them 'Computers and Electronic
Equipment', the Amtrak guy said: 'No can do friend'.
'We don't insure anything, and we accept nothing breakable.'

SLAM!

Yup.
At least they were 'up front' about it.

(I had the electronics sent after me later via UPS. They made it okay.
