'The Hop' Takes Suitcases Hands-Free

I got irritated with it's speed in the videoso meandering through a busily hopping airport? And what is to stop a busy thief from just picking it up and hopping away? An audible alarm? Who can hear your phone ringing, let alone your bag calling in airports?

With constant overhead messages to "Keep your baggage in your possession at all times" I seriously doubt 'hop" will get many takers--at least, not legal ones.

I also have to wonder how much all tha technology weighs. You may not have to drag it but you still have to lift it. Also, with weight limits on checked bags and a push to limit carry-on's it won't take airlines long to institute weight limits on carry-on's too. I'ld rather drag along what I need than have too little following me like a puppy.
