[Electronics-Talk] Smart Luggage Finder

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning everyone,

     I recently lost a checked bag courtesy of Greyhound when I traveled 
to Winston Salem North Carolina last month. They've had a tracer on it 
for over a month and I have not heard from them. I looked at luggage 
finders and want to find what I'll call a "Smart Luggage Finder" capable 
of communicating with a mobile device and that would report the exact 
location of your bag so you will know if your checked bag was placed on 
your bus, train,  or plane so you will know that your bag is traveling 
on the same vehicle as you and if it's lost you'll know exactly where it 
is headed so it can be easily located and it's destination corrected by 
the transportation provider. The next time we travel we'll be sure to 
buy travel insurance to among other things give the transportation 
provider a strong incentive to insure our checked bags travel with us 
and so they can avoid paying out hefty insurance claims. If anyone knows 
of a luggage locator with the capabilities mentioned above I'd like to 
know where to get it. All the best.

Peter Donahue
