Abstract: Current Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology applications facilitate communication through managing performance accuracy and efficiency. The quality of RFID in identifying objects accurately at low-cost and the advantage of not using line-of-sight brings several new ideas and introduces great application areas making the technology of RFID an essential segment of our daily lives. This research is focused on examining the current practices of RFID by exploring into its use as a security tool in baggage handling. Data were gathered from different and diverse renowned sources providing rich information on the current and future use of RFID in baggage handling and then reviewed for integrity through comparison with similar baggage handling technologies. Results from this research showed that RFID can be effectively used as a security tool in baggage handling though there are some problems due to radio frequency collision. Further research should be done on reducing this interference issue through improved selective identification using RFID system architecture for numerous objects.
Keywords: RFID security; Barcode technology; Baggage handling.
