A US-based company called ETA has come up with a device that helps you to [locate your luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggage-losers) by beeping and flashing when you send an RF signal from the [remote transmitter to the receiver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aircard-pro-and-airnotch-pro) that you attach to your luggage. But the big question is whether you can get such a transmitting device past security officials at the airport. Plus, the beeps and flashes can be pretty annoying and confusing if other travellers also use the same device to locate their luggage. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Luggage Tracking:** Developing smart luggage tracking systems that can easily be located by travelers could disrupt the luggage and travel industries. - **Innovative Security Devices:** Designing innovative security devices that eliminate the need for traditional security checks at airports is an opportunity that could disrupt the security industry. - **Integrated Traveler Solutions:** Creating integrated traveler solutions that incorporate smart luggage tracking, security devices, transportation and accommodation booking into a single platform could disrupt the travel industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luggage Industry:** Smart luggage tracking systems could disrupt the luggage industry, resulting in a shift towards more high-tech and innovative luggage offerings. - **Security Industry:** Developing innovative security devices that eliminate the need for traditional security checks at airports is an opportunity that could disrupt the security industry and improve the overall traveler experience. - **Travel Industry:** Creating integrated traveler solutions that incorporate smart luggage tracking, security devices, transportation and accommodation booking all in a single platform could disrupt the travel industry and provide a seamless experience for travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Trackable Smart Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casesafe.md) - [Luggage Tracking Safety Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-luggage-tracker.md) - [Discreet Trackable Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qantas-x-july.md) - [Location-Tracking Luggage Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taglock-travel-lock.md) - [Connected Luggage Tags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knog-scout-travel.md) - [Trackable Travel Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-smart-collection-by-samsara.md) - [Tech-Equipped Suitcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oogo-smart-luggage.md) - [Mini Luggage-Compatible Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airtag.md) - [Telecom Travel Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncarrier-by-tmobile.md)
