RFID Luggage Tracking at Jacksonville Airport

Posted by michael on Sunday April 18, 2004 @05:07AM from the if-it's-computerized,-it-must-be-good dept.

securitas writes "AP reports that the Jacksonville Airport permanent RFID luggage tracking system will be installed this fall in time for the Super Bowl. The article concludes explaining that when San Francisco and Seattle ended their RFID pilot programs, they 'switched back to bar-code systems, saying the radio systems were unnecessary.' Mirror at Globetechnology, with more at Computerworld ,a large article at Jacksonville Business Journal, as well as some history from RFID Journal and Computerweekly." Moving to an untested system... paying for it by firing the baggage handlers who could help you recover from problems if the system proves to have bugs... what could go wrong?

It's a shame that I'm out of mod points, because this is the exact type of comment that needs to be modded down. The poster clearly hasn't ever been to Jacksonville.
