Hallo everyone! i've seen this etag news today and i would like just to rise few questions.
Assuming that barcodes will be the same both on paper tags and etags and so there will be a better custumer service on tracking bags, what about customer's privacy? Beacause if a gps system will be integrated, airline will know bag's loction along with owner location's (when bag is not lost of course...)from where tag has been generated untill airport.And what about after flight lands?will the tag be deleted?
About security...if a passanger checks online and generate his bag tag at home, what happen if he wont show up? Does the airline system record a bag which is not actually in the hold ??!Could this take to higher risks of delaying flights?
