Boston Logan's RIFD project

eweek reports on Boston's Logan International Airport using RIFD tags to track passengers and their baggage from the time it is checked in to reaching its final destination.

The tracking system being developed by Boston Engineering tracks a passenger from the time they arrive at the airport and check into a self-service boarding pass kiosk, to the time they board an airplane (given that one doesn't generally deplane during flight, it's assumed the systems tracks an individual through to their final destination).
