Delta to Test Facial-Recognition Baggage System

Ever had trouble recognizing your luggage at the airport? Well, soon your luggage will be able to recognize you--in a way--with Delta Air Lines' self-service bag drop system that uses facial-recognition technology to identify travelers. Delta this summer will install four self-service bag-drop machines at Minneapolis-St. The deployment will allow Delta to test the machines, which it says will allow customers to quickly, securely and easily check their own bags. One of the devices will be equipped with facial-recognition technology that can match passengers' faces with their passport photos.
