If someone could clarify if tou need to have your luggage with you going through customs, that would be helpful. |
My impression was that if you are directed to this new area, your bags are somewhere else being examined (or not) by Customs. If you are cleared to go, you return to the departures area for your next flight and hope that the bags will come with you, but that's up to the baggage handlers. If you're not cleared, then God help you.
