Luggage That Weighs Itself

Tuesday April 11, 2006

selfweighingluggage.jpgThe bags from Ricardo Beverly HIlls have all the latest bells and whistles -- ballistic-grade nylon, honeycomb reinforcements, ruggedized corners, in-line skate wheels, internal packing systems, reinforced hardware, and TSA-approved locks. The extra killer feature seems like a no-brainer in retrospect: a small digital readout by the handle that gives you the bag's current weight, in pounds or kilograms. No more games of Guess Your Bags' Weight before leaving home, nor any need to transfer few extra pounds to your carry-on under the annoyed gaze of the gate agent. Now all they need is luggage that X-rays itself, or better yet, actually flies itself to your destination and unpacks in your hotel room.
