Airport porters

Can anyone tell me what the situation is with the porters these days?
thanks

I'm guessing you mean regarding ARRIVING, since there had been a discussion some months back about arriving passengers having to manage their own luggage from the arriving baggage carousel through Aduanas (Customs) and to the public area in the terminal. The last time I picked someone up at the airport I noticed that porters appeared to be inside the ARRIVALS area and helping passengers. I don't know if they are only allowed to handle luggage after it has passed through Aduanas but that is what I would guess.
