    Anyone ever flown to Hartsfield Jacksson, in Atlanta, GA? I lost my bag there in the christmas rush on December 18th 2007. Not very funny, the biggest airport in the world at christmas and lost bag. Took me 4 hours to track it down. They had forgot to place it on the conveyer belt, thanx a lot! Also this was my first time in the states, and i was flying alone, so i was kind of pissed, fucking up my trip… But it worked out nice in the end =)

    I may be some magical being or something, but I have never had problems with checking in baggage, outside of maybe a light-colored suitcase getting a little dirty. I don’t even have trouble detecting my suitcase – bright orange, with a red tag, and a turquoise cover that I knitted and sewed onto the handle. You can’t miss anything THAT garrish! ;)

    you cant lock your bag unless you have a tsa approved lock. that means they have a key.

  5. Mcstikman says:

    Because even if it is locked. It will be opened no matter what as long as it sitting there untagged it will be opened to be searched

    Just put the name tag INSIDE the luggage, on a clear place. First thing – when lost – what they do is open up the luggage anyway … tadaaa.

    airport securitys favourite mode of opening bags: not a zip a chainsaw#

  8. Oni0nNews says:

    Can someone please tell me how writing ur info in a Locked bag will help the airliners identify it and not loose it?!!

    I have only lost my luggage once. Thats when the United flight from Calgary To Denver then to LA got cancelled because of a snowstorm in Denver. We found 3 more seats on an Air Canada flight direct to LA, but our bags never switched flights! We slept in the hotel that night with nothing! The next day our friend George got our bags and brought them to the terminal right before we got on the cruise ship. Phew.

    good idea, when i went to Mexico, the id on the outside got teared and shredded to bits!

  11. Shipocute says:

    I agree with you and with his advice. Actually I used his advice in my trip to London. I traveled with my friends and teachers, they did prepared well and guess what?! They even didn’t knew that there was an ID tag in every airport… I had to give them every single one, even to my teachers, how can you call them guides if they don’t know that thing really existed?!

  12. Shipocute says:

    I followed the 0:93 method.
    I wrote my name, flight number, Airline and even my phone number. Sure it felt more comfortable than ever.

    I checked your channel, so I know you’ll understand: a large can of homemade adobe sauce, but don’t tell ANYone!

    hehe put a recorder that has a rattlesnakes rattler at the highest volume hehe that will work.

  15. phonix032 says:

    LOL whats in it that is making u so violent?

  16. phasilian says:

    I doubt that this is a proper way to track a specific piece of luggage through the system. RFID readers still have significant problems to identify all tags. And if you have a reading security of lets say 99.5% that’s not what you want in a 100% industry.

  17. amtrakfan2 says:

    At the Airport in Las Vegas they use the RFID system to track your luggage at all times

    I swear I keel anyone who toucha my bags!

    Not a handkerchief but a ribbon but some people might take it off. Last time i travelled they took off our label (on a masking tape) and put another one! but thank God no one took it.
    It’s a good and bad idea because as i said some may take out the Ribbon or there may be dozens of passengers on board having the same ribbon

  21. NikshMarcelo98 says:

    Hehehe

  22. wineyamehouse says:

    I keep a live wiener dog in my luggage so I can keep track of it – from the barking & whining. And no one else tries to claim it.

  23. DaibloDBZ says:

    Lol iMovie

  24. noncommittaljunkie says:

    A colored handkerchief? Thats only going to help you identify your bag, which you can probably do anyway what with it being your bag. I guess it does mean that the airline would find it easier to identify you’re bag if it was lost, but not much more so then describing to them the bag itself. I agree with this guy, the best thing to do is put your name/number on it.
