The tech is real. Each Delta bag tag now has an RFID style chip built into it, and anywhere scanners are installed it will check in. Unlikely that other airlines have the technology to communicate over to Delta's system. Easiest way to see the technology working is tracking it at the Carousel. Usually the notification comes through on the app that the bag is now arriving, and within 10 seconds the bag drops out.
