Abstract: A baggage handling verification device (10) is disclosed for use with baggage (46) having an RFID tag (48) attached. The device includes a user interface to emit signals, an attachment element (22, 28) to attach the device to a user, an RFID antenna (32), and RFID reader (34) to read data received by the antenna from the tag. Data memory (42) stores data pertaining to a passenger journey. A CPU (38) can compare data from the tag with data in the memory. The device can emit different signals depending on whether the compared data matches or not to assist the user to decide how to handle the baggage. The invention extends to a method of determining whether an intended action relating baggage matches a predetermined desired action for that baggage, and to a baggage handling checking device.
