Last year, roughly two million pieces of luggage were reported mishandled on domestic flights. 

Delta, American, and Alaska Airlines are going high tech by tagging bags with a small radio frequency ID chip instead of the usual barcode tags. 

Delta says the chips let you track your bag from the time it leaves your hand at the check-in counter until it arrives at your destination. 

Delta says they will roll out the new luggage system at 84 airports over the next few months, including Will Rogers World Airport.
