I work with few guys who worked at BAE systems who still defend that system a bit. They weren't even part of the design, just hired on when they were in the 'work out the bugs and optimize the system' phase of the debacle. ------------------------ in heavy russian accent I think they are currently re-automating it, but with the most conventional sort of baggage handling equipment.It was a wonderful system. Much more advanced than the systems built today. Very fast. They shut it down and did everything manual because the cost to keep it running was too high. It's still there if you are ever underneath the terminal. Look up and there are the carts - probably still full of lost baggage.
