If you are traveling with your suitcases through the metro, you may have difficulties with the turn-style and getting your baggage through. When I was having difficulty one time, a young man came up and offered to pass it over to me after I had gone through. I quickly rejected the offer, thanked him and moved along. However, I could see a more trusting person easily accepting his offer and there is a chance that he could have run off with the bag instead of passing it over the turn-style.
To avoid putting yourself in this vulnerable situation, simply ask the attendant to let you use the handicap lane, if there is one. If there is no handicap-accessible lane, pick up your baggage and put it on the other side of the turn-style after you have successfully swiped or inserted your ticket. Keep a hand through a strap on your bag at all times.
