Seriously though, pachinko machines in every airport would be a trip. @Dave, yeah and I bet the angelic attendants at the airlines were more than happy to resolve all of your problems in the same way they always do, by doing nothing.

When I saw the title and picture, I thought this was going to be about pachinko(Japanese slot machines) thoughtfully placed throughout airports. Just joking. This does sound great. Last year on our way home from spending Christmas in the states, all of our luggage was lost. When we reached Tokyo we were told it was still in Chicago. We spent the next three days including New Years in our pajamas. Darn!

I travel so much that when I heard they were doing anything to clean up the utter mess that airports have become I was ecstatic. I think that any time you need to talk to a human your pretty much in huge trouble. Yeah, I can only imagine if there were some major system malfunctions after it was implemented. It would only serve to confirm that airline companies can hardly do anything right these days. Surprisingly I thought Air India wasn't that bad when we all met up in Bombay. Sure the food wasn't to die for but at least it got me from A to B. @Connie, your telling me.

And what with all the red-level security measures these days that require a passenger to arrive at the airport 15 million hours early just to get their socks put under a microscope, this technology could not make more sense. As for the concern you expressed in your last paragraph, it would be most unwise for airline companies to completely put their faith into this new system at any given time. There will always be a group of people that will require human assistance, you can count on that. Also, I'm wondering what would happen if the computer systems crashed?
