According to the latest industry figures, about 4 pieces of luggage will be lost on the average Boeing 747 flight. Passengers are most likely to lose a bag when changing flights,especially if the connection time is short. One of the major reasons for luggage being lost is that the paper tags carrying the bar code(条形码)are ripped off as cases are shunted along conveyor belts to the aircraft. It was this that led to the loss of thousands of bags at Londons Heathrow Airport in March 2008. This luggage technology, known as Bag2Go, involves fixing a satellite tracker and a bar code onto the suitcase. Using a smartphone, a passenger sends details of their flight to the airline which in turn sends back a bar code which is shown on the display unit of the case. Each bar code is unique carrying details of the traveller, flight and destination. Once on board a plane, a passenger can use a smartphone application to check that the bag is in place and inform flight crew if its not there. Should the bag be loaded onto the wrong plane, satellite technology and the bar code means that it will be easily traced. It will enable the case to be delivered to the correct destination and returned to its owner. At the same time, the passenger can keep track of the bag with the help of a mobile phone application, which has a number of functions, including informing a passenger if somebody tries to tamper(胡乱摆弄)with the bag. The technology is still being developed by Airbus, T-Systems, a telecommunications company and RIMOWA, a suitcase manufacturer. Passengers will be able to buy the bags, although renting them is another possibility. The advanced technology means that there may be no luggage conveyor belts in our future, as the satellite technology could mean bags are transported indepen
