a substantially horizontal frame member configured to be mounted:
above a first conveyor equipped with a static or dynamic weighing scale; and
away from an end of the first conveyor at a distance from an upper surface of the first conveyor substantially equal to a maximum allowable height of baggage thereby forming a physical barrier for oversized baggage;
code scanning equipment mounted onto the substantially horizontal frame member and positioned above the substantially horizontal frame member, wherein the code scanning equipment comprises a display screen and handheld scanner configured to scan a code printed onto a boarding pass or claim tag and/or make a picture of said boarding pass or claim tag; and
computing means configured to compare an output of the static or dynamic weighing scale with allowable baggage weights.
