Computing UK has an interesting discussion on merging RFID with air travel titled 'RFID plane tickets to track travellers':
'Scientists at University College London (UCL) are developing a system that combines radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and high-definition CCTV cameras to track passenger movements in busy airports.
The EU-funded project, known as Optag, is intended to help airlines keep track of passengers and help them reach departure gates on time, reducing the risk of missing valuable take-off slots.
The system could also be used in places such as theme parks to find lost children, or delegates in large conference centres.
‘We are working to create an interface between the tags and the cameras so that while the tag locates the passenger, the camera can pick them out in a crowded departure lounge,’ said Brennan.'
