It's there, if you're willing to pay for it. http://www.wherify.com makes a system for tracking children; much like the "house arrest" bracelets, it's locked onto your child and you can go to the website and "ping" it at any time.

Putting this in/on a piece of luggage seems obvious. (Expensive, but obvious.)

(Will the baggage check people now need to remind us to turn off our packed electronic items?)

Does it give the location via GPS...i.e. lattitude and longitude....this might make for a very funny when the airlines say they don't know where it is and you can pinpoint it's location!
