IATA and Airlines have been testing RFID equipped luggage tags since the early 2000's. Their RFID standard includes multiple PII fields and security information, but, how are these tags actually used? With over a year of luggage tags donated by traveling hackers, I have compiled a survey of these tags as implemented by US carriers.
