Baggage security system and use thereof

摘要

A baggage security system is disclosed for providing fingerprint identification of all persons checking luggage or cargo to be shipped on airline flights, to enable swift identification of all persons checking or carrying on board luggage or cargo. The security kit preferably includes a first document, such as a passenger ticket, a second document, such as a baggage tag label and a fingerprint coating material. The first document or passenger ticket has a first substrate with a personal information area on a surface thereof bearing the name of the person depositing baggage or cargo for transport. The ticket additionally has a fingerprint identification area on a surface thereof for receiving a fingerprint of the passenger wishing to check luggage. The second document or baggage tag label has a second substrate with at least one fingerprint receiving area bearing an inkless fingerprint developing coating for developing a visible colored image of a fingerprint of a finger of the person upon contact of the coating by his or her finger. The fingerprint developing coating is then removed from the second substrate and deposited onto the first substrate in the fingerprint identification area.
