It seems that 2-letter abbreviations work for state and country
abbreviations, 3-letter abbreviations are sufficient worldwide for 
baggage claim tickets, but orchestras need 4-letter abbreviations. 
That is why my orchestra is abbreviated SASO (Southern Arizona 
Symphony Orchestra). You might think "symphony" and "orchestra" 
are redundant words but it makes our abbreviation necessary and unique.

This also explains why you are much less likely to lose your baggage at 
an orchestra concert, despite the lamentable absence of overhead bins.

Gotta go,
