Delta Air Lines is currently pursuing ways to track passenger baggage through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.
The airline is planning to test RFID on selected flights from Jacksonville, Fla., through to its Atlanta hub this autumn. The technology uses radio signals, broadcast from readers, to send and receive information from programmable memory stored on a small chip embedded in the passenger's bag tag.
The 30-day test - run in coordination with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) - will involve more than 40,000 900MHz disposable tags provided by Matrics and SCS Corporation.
