[Electronics-talk] keeping track of bags while traveling

[Steve Johnson]

I don't have any ideas, but did hear on the news this morning that one of
the airlines, can't recall which one, is being sued for this exact issue as
they would not refund the baggage fee for the individual whose luggage they
lost. Should prove interesting.

Dear All:

Recently, I have noticed an increase in the frequency with which airlines
and other transports are losing my baggs.  Since I travel a lot I take all
the usual precautions with correct labeling etc, but it is happening more
often than usual.  

I have seen several electronic or radio frequency bag tracking mechanisms
but naturally there is no information about whether they are usable by blind
people.  I would like to know if others have found a solution for this
problem, what it is and how much it costs.  

This is becoming a real headache and it needs to be solved.  

Any thoughts on strategies or devices are welcome.  Airline horror stories
are not welcome since I have heard them all and lived most of them.  My
interest is confined to solutions only.
Many Thanks,

Jean
