Abstract
A biometric bag check system includes one or more bag accepting devices, bag transport devices, and/or bag delivery devices. A bag accepting device is operable to obtain control of a bag from a person, obtain a digital representation of a biometric from the person, use a biometric identification system to determine an identity for the person using the digital representation of the biometric, verify flight information for the person by communicating with an airline system using the identity, and route the bag upon verification of the flight information. A bag transport device is operable to receive the bag from the bag accepting device and transport the bag. A bag delivery device is operable to receive the bag from the bag transport device and deliver the bag to the person.
