Tagging passengers

How tagging passengers could improve airport security

I think there are a lot more marketing and time & motion study aspects to this idea than security aspects.

The writer in this article didn't convince me of the increased security factor. RFID tagging could be used to match

checked baggage to passengers on board - but we have that now. Heck, I fly a major-regional airline that doesn't even have electronic boarding pass readers/scanners at the gates in their hub city. A gate agent still manually checks the boarding passes collected against a passenger manifest.
