Easy-2-Pick

Easy2Pick
Airplane travel is stressful. There are the security checks, uncomfortable seats, tasteless meals and then, of course, there's the fact that you're hurtling through the air at breakneck speeds in a tin box. But perhaps the worst party of all is waiting for your luggage. You never know when it's coming up the conveyer belt. You grab a bag only to discover that it belongs to someone else. Wouldn't it be great if you could just sit back and wait for your luggage to alert you when it's arrives?
That's the idea behind a simple device from Easy-2-Pick, a small Israeli company founded by two American Express travel agents. The gadget has two components. One piece attaches to the luggage, the other fits in your pocket. The range between the two pieces is only 15 meters, so the alert only sounds (it also lights up and vibrates) when your luggage is close by.
The Easy-2-Pick system was red hot when we first wrote about it last year. It seems to have floundered since then as the inventors search for distributors. Still, it's a wonderful idea and we hope it succeeds. Imagine the same technology being applied to your keys... or your car, when you can't remember where you parked.
