Identity-protected luggage tags now at Wal-Mart

ANTELOPE, Calif. Wal-Mart has agreed to sell Smart-i-tags, TSA-approved luggage tags that allow users to register their contact information to separate network so that personal information doesn't have to be displayed on their luggage.

The Smart-i-tags are available at Wal-Mart supercenters nationwide in the retailer's luggage departments.

"Smart-i-tag's mission is to protect people's identity, and we're thrilled to broaden our consumer reach through Wal-Mart's support," says Allen Wilson, Smart-i-tag's president. "The Federal Trade Commission estimates that approximately 9 million people become victims of identity theft every year. Wal-Mart recognizes the need for our product, which we consider a no-brainer when it comes to securing people's privacy. Smart-i-tags are a simple way to stop criminals in their tracks and protect personal privacy."
