One and a half hours is enough time to transfer a passenger's baggage to a connecting flight. Once a passenger checks in a baggage, these are all segregated into containers for each specific destination. Once the aircraft arrives at the transit city, these containers are then unloaded from the 1st aircraft or if just a few pieces, the specific bags are located then transferred to the next flight. You would notice that checked baggage tags have sequence nbrs and if checked thru or not. This speeds up locating them just by radioing the ramp agents. Really easy and simple stuff. For security purposes on interline flights, when we're the receiving carrier, we don't accept the baggage not until the passenger has checked in with the transfer desk or gate agents..but if it's a connecting flight using the same carriers, it's a-ok.

They take the luggage off one plane and put it on another. The Luggage is tagged for the plane it need to go on. They use a truck looking thing with carts behind it to move the luggage quickly.
This not a great picture, but, you can see;
