It would be very interesting to have a GPS type device installed in your luggage for you to track. Doesn't the GPS type device MUST have direct line of sight to at least THREE different geo-synchronous satellites for it to work? That means, if the baggage is inside a building of whatever type or in an aircraft, it would not be locateable.
Is there some technology that would get around this?
