Smart bags will soon be banned from flights, unless you are able to remove the battery.

The bags generally have USB ports where customers can recharge their phones and other devices. They might also have GPS to track the bag’s location in case it gets lost, electronic locks and a weight scale to prevent overpacking. Some even a motor to propel the bags so that they can double as a scooter or just follow their owner around the airport.

Ever see a story and think it is something new, only to find out it is two weeks old? I thought it was good to post it before the holidays, for all you lazy lizards. :P
