Delta Airlines (OTC:DALRQ - News) began testing the viability of an RFID baggage tracking solution in 2004. Delta then estimated that approximately 0.7 percent of baggage handled is misplaced, which translated into roughly 800,000 bags per year. Transporting those bags to their rightful owners cost the company an estimated $100 million annually.

Most members of the AMEX Airline Index (AMEX:XAL - News) have also used RFID in conjunction with baggage handling through their operations at Las Vegas' McCarran Airport.

Individual travelers will have the opportunity to purchase "BagChip" tags directly from RFID, LTD. "BagChips" will host the travelers name, address and phone number as well a unique numeric id.

Airport personnel can quickly scan baggage inventory using hand-held medium range transponders by Alien Technology (NASDAQ:RFID - News) or Symbol Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:SBL - News) to locate the lost bags at predetermined places within the airport's baggage system.

Estimated price for a "BagChip" is $10 for the first version of tags that have not been integrated into an airline's legacy baggage system.
