The company mentions that an alarm will be provided with the card, in case it is stolen. I am not sure how this will be implemented, but perhaps there will be two “separate” cards. If one is stolen and is apart from the other (for a predetermined distance), then the alarm will sound.

If I find out what they mean by alarm, I will update in a comment.

If you lose your wallet, you lose £40 and have to cancel your credit cards. If you lose your suitcase, you could lose a lot more... Surely a more sensible thing would be to have it on a leash of sorts? A small touch pad, to manoeuvre it. Eliminates the problem of security. You can only lose the suitcase if you physically detach the pad. I would suggest a wrist strap. However, if you pull out your wallet and drop the card, without noticing, you'll leave the bag, without noticing, before it is too late. Isn’t that a bit risky?

The weight matter is definitely going to be a major issue. In order for it to be able to carry a lot of weight, it must be installed with major hardware. I wonder how this issue will be tackled.

"no" "oh well thanks anyway...i bet they sent him to the wrong bloody airport again" I would be a little worried about how much you could fit in there with all the equipment taking up space… and what about the extra weight?

“yes hello have you seen my owner, 6ft mousey hair?”
