BLOG: 'Tag Your Own Bag'
By Nicole Brewer: Air travelers prefer self-service options to traditional tasks handled by agents, according to an industry survey. But, would you be willing to check your own luggage?

Airlines say self-tagging won't pose a security risk because bags are still screened behind the scenes. But, would you be willing to 'tag your own bag?'
