I flew back from Melbourne this morning and the previous seat occupier's boarding pass was in the seat pocket. It has wording on it that I've never seen before in almost 40 years of flying....

BAG SEEN - ACCEPTED SEAMLESS ETKT

Anyone have any ideas what this is all about?

I'm guessing something to do with (not so) 'seamless transfer' in Sydney.

Sounds to me like they've arrived into Oz on an intl flight where the bag has been tagged to their final destination & the comment means they've dropped off the bag at checkin after clearing customs.

Sort of like tracking the pax so if they fail to board you know roughly whereabouts they are in the system.
 
I got that comment on my BP once on a SYD-MEL connection from an international flight. I checked in at the "seamless" transfer area, and told the agent that I was going to spend the 8 or so hours I had to spare in the city with friends, as she had offered to switch me to the next available flight back to MEL. She handed me a BP with that exact annotation under Service Info.
 
I had the OP's comment on a BP last Tuesday, connecting from international to a SYD-MEL domestic (first time I can recall having seen it, not that I make that connection very often).

And as a bonus, I also got 'Catering not assured' - had been moved to an earlier flight as well.

"ETKT" = Electronic Ticket

"accepted seemless ETKT" I think it would mean that the passanger had a multi sector flight(s) and had been issued a "electronic ticket" (i.e a paperless ticket).
