This man has figured out how to never lose his suitcase ever again


When you're waiting at the airport baggage claim, standing elbow-to-elbow with the strangers you just sat elbow-to-elbow with, it can feel like 15 straight minutes of false starts. There's your suitca– no, that's someone else's black bag. There's your suitca– no, that's someone else's black bag. There's your suitca– aw, you get it. That's what makes this man's customized luggage so brilliant. No one will mistake it for their own bag, they won't mistakenly pull it out of the overhead bin and they definitely won't reach for it when it slowly rotates around the luggage carousel.

The photo of this unidentified travel genius and his carry-on twin was posted to Imgur with the caption "The best way to never lose luggage." Other users agreed, although his own efforts can only go so far. "That won't stop the airline from shipping it to the wrong airport," one cynic (or frequent flier) commented. No, but it might stop a baggage handler from drop-kicking it onto a conveyor belt.

So you can keep your smart bags, your Bluetooth-enabled suitcase or your Trakdot transponder. We're just going to get this guy's picture printed on every piece of hard case luggage we own. Problem solved.
