I have seen it ALL. Sams Club is carrying a line of luggage that comes with a built-in digital scale with a little window that indicates the weight of the luggage. Will miracles never cease !!!!!

How long before "they" start implanting that chip in us?

Let me know when they come out with a self-packing one.

Oh, and it manages to put itself back in the attic afterwards.

I can't wait until they come out with one that just automatically arrive at the destination and then back home without me having to lug it around myself.

"How long before "they" start implanting that chip in us?"

well, i think that would be very handy especially say in Europe where some of the budget carriers have strict luggage weight limits.

I'd much prefer a chip which tells me where the heck they've sent my suitcase to!

Can't I dream about not having my luggage lost? And I don't mean additional body weight

I'm holding out for the one that will wash my dirty laundry.

My true dream suitcase weights less than 2 lbs empty.

My DW bought one of those pieces of luggage last year (not sure where, but not at Sam's). Couldn't believe it when she brought it home. [starrsvile - I was actually thinking pretty much the same thing at the time] It's actually come in pretty handy - especially for those people (whom I won't dare mention!!) tend to overpack and exceed weight restrictions.
