A Trustee's Deadline to Object to Exemptions is Absolutely Absolute

In 1992, the Supreme Court addressed this very issue and in spite of a trustee's argument that disallowing a late objection would merely encourage debtors to claim exemptions to which they were clearly not entitled, the Court decided that a "rule is the rule."  Taylor v. Freeland & Kronz, 503 U.S. 638, 112 S.Ct. 1644, 118 L.Ed 2d 280 (1992).  Otherwise, a trustee's practice of continuing creditors meetings indefinitely or simply not scheduling a continued meeting date would render the rule meaningless.  A meeting that is not specifically concluded is deemed concluded if it is not continued to a specific date and time by the conclusion of the meeting or an announcement of a continued meeting made within 30 days of the last meeting.
