Airlines losing bags

I found this article this evening as I was browsing the internet and thought it was pretty interesting. It gives the stats on the number of bags that were lost to airlines over the year 2005. U.S. airways was the biggest loser of bigs for the year 2005. I know this article doesn't have a lot to do about globalalization, but as technology has increased over the past years, airline travel has grown to become the fastest and probably the most used way to travel to different places. It's interesting to think of the number of bags that have been lost throughout the years effects everyone throughout the world. Not only does this event happen in the United States, but throughout the whole world and it's a statistic that's not measured by country or region but encompasses people from all over the whole world. I think as security at America's airports and airports increases throughout the whole world we are going to continue to see increased security at airports and more of these errors occuring. Already the stat put out for 2005 is an increase over 2004 and as security increases more of these errors and waits are going to lead to lost baggage.

It's an interesting article to read. You never know the next time your bag might be lost!
