About $7 billion of the $104 billion collected since 1997 goes to airports &#8220;used mainly by private pilots and globe-trotting corporate executives,&#8221; says the article.

		<description><![CDATA[This is interesting because it's the airlines thinking about doing it themselves (<a href="http://www.flight-club.org/blog/2005/04/reduce-your-chance-of-lost-luggage/" title="Flight Blog: Reduce your chance of lost luggage…">unlike private companies, like in the United States</a>). Lost-luggage compensation costs in Europe are about to mushroom with the introduction of new laws that triple the potential "refund" for lost luggage (to 1,200 euros). This makes RFID tags on held luggage is an attractive solution, basically because data stored electronically is harder to mess up.
