Does declaring your baggage as fragile do anything good?

Let’s put it this way: it doesn’t hurt. The terms & conditions of any airline will already disclaim as much responsibility as possible for any luggage damaged in transit, the waiver is just an extra bit of legal ass-covering with the helpful side effect of (hopefully) making it clear to the passenger that the “fragile” tag is best effort, not a guarantee.

Also, while your mileage obviously may vary, many airports genuinely do handle fragile items differently: for example, in Sydney they’re carted over to a separate corral by hand instead of being thrown on to the conveyor belt to play demolition derby with everybody else’s suitcases. I quite regularly bring along cardboard boxes containing (well-padded) bottles, which get slapped with Fragile tags, and to date they’ve always come through with no visible damage.
