Method of virtually tagging baggage in a handling system, comprising: from an image, computing a first unique data signature from physical properties of the baggage S5-1 to S5-7; determining whether the first data signature passes a uniqueness threshold S5-9, S5-11; if the threshold is not met, an operator is prompted to modify the baggage’s appearance S5-13 and the aforementioned steps repeated to determine a second data signature; if the first or second signatures pass the uniqueness threshold they are incorporated into a unique virtual luggage tag. A user device (21, Fig. 1) may: capture a baggage image; display a mixed or augmented reality version of the image; and capture a user-defined location on or in the bag to which the virtual tag is attached. The user-defined location and virtual tag may be associated with a unique license plate (passenger) identifier. A server may issue a challenge to a user wherein the user inputs verification of the tag location thereby updating a bag’s tracked location. The signature may be supplemented with data such as weight, centre of gravity, density, x-ray imaging parameters, microdots, vibration signature, sonar response, moisture and/or radiation. The captured data may comprise a time stamp.
