Posted by timothy on from the ok-now-on-to-the-baggage-handling-system dept.

kkleiner writes "The modern mailing system can seem like magic, but the systems in place to reliably get boxes from A to B is a marvel of logistics. Now, a Dutch designer named Ruben van der Vleuten has unraveled the mystery for non-postal employees by installing a camera within a parcel to record the journey."

    Embedded cameras might help prevent package loss too

    How after they loose the package are they going to view the video footage?

    I'm actually surprised this didn't get flagged as it looks like a bomb.

    Bet it doesn't SMELL like a Bomb. (I.e. No fumes from the usual explosive or poisonus chemicals).

    It does? What part? It just looks like a pile of electronics to me. Bombs have certain very specific characteristics: This has none of those characteristics. You don't happen to work for the TSA or anything do you?
