RFID Luggage Tracking at Jacksonville Airport

Posted by michael on 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?

    Yes, eat feces and die.

    Or, take the cock route:

    1. eat a dick
    2. choke on said dick
    3. die

    Thanks.

    Unions opposing progress huh? I could go on a rant about how I could track someone's luggage (if I were close enough, or hacked the national RFID reader infrastructure (the FEDs built it to track us man!)). But I won't as I'm not a paranoid retard. I would just be happy if the plain vanilla retard baggage handlers lost my luggage a little less.

    Baggage handlers would be fired if RFID is adopted? YAY RFID!! Can we put RFID everywhere please, so all baggage handlers are fired? please? I'm sick of constantly having to fight the airlines to get my suitcases and their contents replaced/payed for.

    Shut the fuck up, michael. No, really, shut up. You know absolutely nothing about any of the so-called "issues" that you like to opine about. If you think your editorial comments are so damn important, then post them as comments and let the moderators have their way with you.

    Honestly, you alone are the reason why I don't read Slashdot any more.
