bookofjoe MoneyMaker™ — 'Because nothing digital ever disappears'

Kevin Kelly made an observation more or less to that effect which I read somewhere in recent months, the precise source of which eludes me at the moment.

Note to self: email him and ask.

Anyhow, I got to thinking last evening about yesterday's isthisyourluggage.com post and the seven pieces of lost luggage featured there, along with their contents.

Consider that every carry-on bag is X-rayed, and more and more checked bags as well.

Well?

Those images are in there somewhere.

Oh, sure, if you ask you'll be told they're erased after a given period of time.

Perhaps.

But I'd put money on their being accessible if someone really wanted to look.

So here's the MoneyMaker™: Scale up Luna Laboo's idea and post the X-rays of all lost bags on a dedicated Website.

Charge a fee for each one returned and Bob's your uncle.

Yes, Kevin — I'll give you half of whatever I make from this one.
