[Electronics-talk] keeping track of bags while traveling

[Tom Evans]

I saw on the news that many people are mailing their bags.  It is apparently
cheaper and more accurate.  you would need to drop off in advance at a store
or pay extra for them to pick up at your house.

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
