I generally try to avoid Delta, but don't fly much anyway. The last time I flew Delta a few months ago the check in person measured my wife's luggage with a tape measure, ( is was withing regulations) , funny thing was I was using the bike friday nwt suitcase as my luggage (no bike inside), it's a little oversized they didn't measure it.
As other posters have said the xrays are done after baggage check in by TSA and have nothing to do with the airlines. From my experience with airlines and luggage they don't ask what's inside and I don't volunteer any information.
Delta seems to be at the pinnacle of gouging on baggage charges, at least they are the best as something.
I'm retired now and take some other form of transportation whenever possible, I just hate to give these theives in the airline industry any of my money.
