Delta is Rolling Out RFID Luggage Tags By the End of Summer | |
In an honorable attempt to make air travel slightly less terrible, Delta announced a new program this week that will track of checked baggage via paper RFID tags. The program will replace the familiar barcode stickers that currently get slapped on checked baggage, and RFID readers at various points along a bag's journey will read the tag's radio signals to insure each piece of luggage is on headed to the right place.

While many people don’t understand why checking people’s belongings can take so long because "I’m not carrying anything dangerous," you may be surprised at what other people have in their luggage. As many as 2,653 firearms, 83 percent of them loaded, were discovered in 2015 in carry-on bags at checkpoints across the country--seven a day on average--according to a TSA report.

| Sleep Badly in Hotels? Science Says This is Why | |
Business travel seems so glamorous. Until you do it regularly, that is. Soon you find that some rooms don't smell right. In some hotels, you can hear the people next door and you wish you didn't know exactly what they were paying to watch on their TV. Room service often brings lukewarm or even cold food. And then there's the bed. You never quite know what you'll get. The pillows are too soft or too hard. The room might not even have been cleaned, a favorite new ploy of some hotels, it seems.
