Does checkin work different outside the US?

Here is the States, most of your time is spent standing in line for a boarding pass to show security at the gate, not checking in luggage, so I don't really see how this will catch on here. The airline tags the bag at the same time they give me my pass, and I walk about 10 feet and drop the bag off. Maybe things work different in the UK, since it seems this is where it was designed.

But, NZ air (and country) definitely rock.

It's the same everywhere, this is not really made to make it faster since you'll always wait at the security check and since it's here that you wait the most it doesn't really matter how fast you do any precedent step...

They developed this to save costs, if on average it takes 2 min to do the Check-in and with this it only takes 1.5 min then they save a lot of time and could open less gates, less gates = less employees = profit. It's like on-line check-in, it doesn't really save you much time, I don't travel much but I've experienced the 90's boarding style and today's style (on-line check-in, only hand bag), well frankly I don't think I see that much of difference in time needed, in the past I waited to dispatch my baggage/check in, today I wait at the security check.

Who is responsible?

What this is missing is RFID, which would allow the airline to track the bag anywhere in the baggage handling area. This would make a significant dent in lost bags, I think. Better yet build it into the luggage.
