Another Use for RFID Tags
SmartMobs explains that ” engineers at University College London,a Berkshire firm called Innovision, a group in France,another in Greece,an airport in Hungary and a few others” want to put tags in boarding passes and use sensors in the airport to help track down those who check baggage but fail to get on the plane. At first I thought this was silly – those folks should miss the plane! Then I recalled that the bags and people must match in these post 9/11 times and not having the folks on board would mean delaying the flight to get the baggage removed. So, maybe this is a good idea after all. The whole story is in the Guardian.
