Glamorous as my job may seem at times, my feelings on gadgets and tech these days is pretty ‘meh’ and only a small child-like handful of doodads piques my interest. Lately, for some reason, I’ve become infatuated with luggage. I’d really like to give Live Luggage’s Hybrid PA a spin, but I never check my bag and $400 is a bit much.
So, when the release for the BioCase from Heys popped up I had to tell all of you about it. First, it’s carry-on and touts itself as the world’s lightest. Second, this thing has a biometric scanner of some sort that stores up to eight fingerprints for up to 90 days. They seem to be pretty tough and come in a 19- and 20-inch model. And you can charge the scanner via USB or a power adapter. No word on price, but the BioCase is coming in April.
I like this tech too. There is so much neat stuff out there that also falls into the category of “cool, but what do I need that for?”. I have a small gun safe with a biometric system with nearly the same specs. I researched biometric technology at this digital security site called justaskgemalto.
So if it’s a carry-on, why do you need the biometric options? If it’s far enough away from you to be opened by the bad guy, he’s likely just to take the whole thing. Sorry, it’s just silly.
I guess if you like locks, you’ll love locks with biometric sensors.
The best pic we could find of a suitcase was a gif that by the file name was apparently edited in MS Paint? What is this 1995?
That luggage looks nearly bulletproof! I like the idea of fingerprint scanning. I remember my sister came back from a vacation and customs did a random check on her luggage and absolutely maimed the lock she had on it. Probably won’t happen if its fingerprint id-style.
Can’t wait for this to come out this winter.
