Luggage collection is already slow enough. Adding a correlation check would make it even slower. Plus a good number of people immediately lose their luggage slip once their bag is tagged... I wouldn't necessarily trust people having a matching slip anyway because you could just scan and print one... So then you're checking IDs and everyone who has a bag in their name needs to be present at baggage claim instead of splitting up some someone can get the rental car.
That said, I think they did do ID based baggage claim when I went on a cruise... You'd find your bag and wave down an attendant and point. Needed a lot more space and labor.
- OJFord 1y agoWhy an extra slip? Just link it to passport/travel document or boarding pass (it already is). It could be something like a cable that clasps a handle and is attached to the carousel, a few points around it have a scanner, once you see your bag you scan and it releases. I don't know how big a problem theft actually is and I'm not really suggesting it necessarily, I just think compared to the rest of life and travel it's quite surprising that that's the way it is.
