Delta Air Invests $25 Million in RFID for Luggage

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the extreme-package-tracking dept.

securitas writes "The New York Times' Barnaby Feder reports on Delta Air Lines' plans to invest $25 million in RFID luggage tracking hardware and software over the next two years. This sounds very similar to the Jacksonville Airport RFID plan. McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas and Hong Kong International Airport have also announced plans to use RFID technology in their operations. More at the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Boston Globe."

    Oh, so now they can tell me WHICH city my luggage went to, instead of just telling me its not there (I can SEE that, asshole!)

    (No, I didn't RTFA, because then this joke might not work...)

    There is no mod option "-1: Disagree" for a reason. "Overrated" is not an acceptable substitute. Post something instead.

    So now when they lose my luggage, they'll actually be able to see that they sent it to Idaho when I was going to Vegas!
