RFID Tagged Luggage?

RFID is becoming very popular in such a way that a few of the European airlines are considering using this technology to tag luggage.

In an articles appearing on cheapflights.co.uk, there is new legislation that will increase the amount people will be compensated for if the airline loses their luggage. The cost is now £814 (1,440 USD ) which is expected to result in £678 billion (1Tlrn USD) a year for the average amount of claims that are submitted.

Since the airlines will be paying almost triple than what they have paid before, this will be a big incentive for many of them to start using RFID tags to keep track of the bags they handle.
