You load your bag and it disappears into the abyss of a baggage maze. The next day it's on the baggage carousel, perhaps with a little nick added. What happened in between?
Inside the shell sits a low-power GPS and data module, charged via the suitcase’s spinner wheels or a USB port. As it moves
through airports and conveyor belts, it posts short automated updates to a travel blog or social feed:
-"Checked in at O’Hare. Feeling optimistic."
-"Security staff appear curious about my shampoo."
-Selfie: "snuggled up to a cute little Tumi."
The posts blend telemetry with a pinch of personality—altitude, temperature, a photo from an embedded fisheye lens. Passengers can follow their luggage in real time or after arrival, reading a charming, occasionally harrowing diary of conveyor belts, hold compartments, and layovers. Features include: Auto-translation into the local language so baggage handlers can add comments (“He’s heavier than he looks.”). "Reunion selfie" when the owner reclaims it at baggage claim.

I was expecting a log with a handle featuring an interior storage space. Might make one myself now. |

[xen] that would be "baglog". Not to be confused with "logbag" which is a bag for putting logs into. And so, logically, "bagalog" is obviously the action of placing a log into a bag. |

Funny, currently watching "Patriot" on Netflix, and an intelligence agency subcontractor is compelled at the last minute to send a bag containing 110 million euros as checked luggage. It goes as well as you would expect. |
