Airport check-in uses service counters at airports handling commercial air travel. The check-in is normally handled by an airline itself by a handling agent working on behalf of an airline. Passengers usually hand over any baggage that they do not wish or are not allowed to carry-on to the aircraft's cabin and receive a boarding pass before they can proceed to board their aircraft. The airline check-in's main function, however, is to accept luggage that is to go in the aircraft's cargo. The arriving passengers claim checked-in baggage after disembarking from an airline flight at Baggage Claim Carousels and the airline agents does the unreliable handmade inspection of luggage tags, which inevitably cause that losing and misdeeming luggage. In this paper we propose a QR Code Screening Mechanism which is based on linking and data restoration functionality of QR Code to enhance the reliability.
