Dragging the Suitcase into the System File should issue a warning stating that the Suitcase should be opened and contents dragged instead. This will prevent users from losing the organization they had with their Suitcases. Note, this problem is especially bad when dragging multiple Suitcase with multiple items in each Suitcase into the System File. All Suitcases will be opened and all organizational information will be lost forever!! The user would have to manually rebuild the Suitcases if he wanted them back. Apple, are you listening?
