Coming into MIA, I had a suitcase filled with food and things for my daughter. Our personal things had been in backpacks.
Leaving MIA, I was running late for my flight.
When we got to checkin, the agent refused to take our bag, saying it was too late. (She knew our flight was delayed.)
So I opened the suitcase, put out stuff back into the backpacks, and walked to our gate. Left the (B"H) cheap empty suitcase sitting there.
