In this day and age of increased security, that's no longer always the
case.

Sometimes there are seperate drop-off points for luggage (which is
going into the hold), where passengers have to present their luggage for
security screening and subsequent check-in. I.e. in that case,
traditional check-in is two stops/'counters', one for passenger check-in
(seat-assignment/passport+visa-check/boarding-pass) and one for luggage
security-check/check-in.
