The Benefits of Positive Passenger Profiling on Baggage Screening Requirements
Overview This research addresses airport security needs over the longer term; namely, how best to balance in the future the two principal criteria that are commonly put forward for sizing the machine deployments at individual airports. These two criteria - keeping the cost to the government of acquiring, installing, and operating the baggage scanning equipment as low as possible and not seriously disrupting the passenger flow through the airport - are in conflict because lowering passenger disruption requires more machines and thus more program cost. This research presents a methodology for balancing the two criteria and thus for answering the question, how much (baggage scanning equipment) is enough.
