I was tasked (with some Marines) with unloading luggage from the press plane and transporting it to the hotel where POTUS was staying during a visit to LA in the early 90s. Some of the luggage, including that of certain national correspondents, somehow was subjected to unusual stress. If that resulted in the additional supervision, I do sincerely apologize.
