Well, the British Olympic team landed back from Rio and realized at baggage claim their patriotism had a downside. There are photos online of rows of bright red suitcases. Baggage collection could be interesting, the team tweeted. Olympian Nick Dempsey posted a sad-face selfie from baggage claim saying, mine's the red one. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.
