I'm guessing that the FAA have approved that it shuts itself down with pressure change or some such. You would need to get their name on it for carriers to accept it.
But it makes you wonder what will happen the first time each, and every, TSA staffer finds one.
Further info that clarifies B'tooth for the last 10m:
The Trakdot communicates with either an iPhone or Android app, as well as SMS to tell you the status of your luggage when traveling. It also integrates Bluetooth technology to tell you if your bag is getting closer to you or if someone is walking off with it. Globatrac hopes to have the Trakdot available at the end of March for $49.95. One time activation of $8.99 (effectively $60) then $12.99 (aka $13) for annual service fee.
The last item tells you that it uses a data network to communicate with it's own base system which then sends the SMS to you, they also offer a Google map display (PC or mobile) with a 'YOU'RE BAG IS HERE'sort of thing. That will also allow them to keep tabs on you each year for upselling and produce a steady revenue stream. Sounds smart.
