The Transportation Security Administration requested a study by the National Research Council (NRC) to establish the Committee on Airport Passenger Screening: Millimeter Wave Machines to evaluate two models of active millimeter wave scanners: the L3 ProVision 1 and L3 ProVision 2. Airport Passenger Screening Using Millimeter Wave Machines provides findings and recommendations on compliance with applicable health and safety guidelines and appropriateness of system design and procedures for preventing over exposure. This study addresses the issue of whether millimeter wave machines used at airports comply with existing guidelines and whether it would be possible for anything to go wrong with the machines so that, by mistake, it exposes a person to more than 10 W/m2.

Passenger screening at commercial airports in the United States has gone through significant changes since the events of September 11, 2001. In response to increased concern over terrorist attacks on aircrafts, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has deployed security systems of advanced imaging technology (AIT) to screen passengers at airports. To date (December 2014), TSA has deployed AITs in U.S. airports of two different technologies that use different types of radiation to detect threats: millimeter wave and X-ray backscatter AIT systems. X-ray backscatter AITs were deployed in U.S. airports in 2008 and subsequently removed from all airports by June 2013 due to privacy concerns. TSA is looking to deploy a second-generation X-ray backscatter AIT equipped with privacy software to eliminate production of an image of the person being screened in order to alleviate these concerns. This report reviews previous studies as well as current processes used by the Department of Homeland Security and equipment manufacturers to estimate radiation exposures resulting from backscatter X-ray advanced imaging technology system use in screening air travelers. Airport Passenger Screening Using Backscatter X-Ray Machines examines whether exposures comply with applicable health and safety standards for public and occupational exposures to ionizing radiation and whether system design, operating procedures, and maintenance procedures are appropriate to prevent over exposures of travelers and operators to ionizing radiation. This study aims to address concerns about exposure to radiation from X-ray backscatter AITs raised by Congress, individuals within the scientific community, and others.

Handbook of Checked Baggage Screening – Advanced Airport Security Operation is a practical guide for project managers and designers embarking on hold-baggage screening developments within the airport environment for the first time. The book clearly explains away any uncertainty about the processes and procedures to be used by the various parties involved within the industry and sets out ‘best practice’ with respect to checked baggage screening design. Valuable lessons can be learned from actual case studies contributed by leading equipment manufacturers on recent 100% hold baggage screening projects. In addition to the all-important security screening of baggage and passengers the book also looks at the following areas associated with airport security, through the use of a detailed structured security check-list evaluation questionnaire. The questionnaire allows airports to assess the state of readiness of their airports and then, using the other chapters, gain an insight regarding which technology will best solve any security gaps. The authors offer a unique perspective through their background and experience. Many of the checked baggage screening procedures and equipment discussed in the book have already been implemented in the UK, with the authors responsible for leading this effort. The combined experience they can offer to the industry world wide is invaluable.

In the modern age, air travel has become an indispensable part of global transportation, facilitating the movement of people and goods across vast distances with unprecedented speed and efficiency. At the heart of this intricate network of aviation infrastructure lies a seemingly mundane but vitally important component: the airport luggage system. Airports, serving as bustling hubs of activity, handle millions of pieces of luggage daily, ensuring that each bag reaches its intended destination. This process, while often taken for granted by travelers, is a marvel of engineering and logistics. From the moment a passenger checks in their bag to the time it is retrieved at their final destination, a complex series of technologies and procedures are employed to guarantee the safe and timely delivery of luggage. This book, "Airports Luggage Systems," delves into the fascinating world of baggage handling, offering an in-depth exploration of the various systems and technologies that make it all possible. We will journey through the history of luggage handling, tracing its evolution from manual processes to the sophisticated automated systems in use today. Each chapter provides a detailed analysis of the components that comprise these systems, including conveyor belts, scanners, sorting machines, and tracking technologies. We will also examine the challenges and innovations shaping the future of airport luggage systems. As airports continue to expand and passenger numbers increase, the need for more efficient, secure, and reliable baggage handling solutions becomes ever more critical. Topics such as RFID tagging, artificial intelligence, and robotics will be discussed, showcasing how these advancements are poised to revolutionize the industry. Furthermore, this book highlights the human element in the baggage handling process. While technology plays a pivotal role, the expertise and dedication of the personnel who oversee and maintain these systems are equally crucial. Their stories and experiences provide valuable insights into the daily operations and the constant drive for improvement within this field. "Airports Luggage Systems" aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of this essential aspect of air travel, appealing to a wide audience that includes industry professionals, engineering students, and curious travelers alike. Through detailed descriptions, illustrative diagrams, and real-world case studies, readers will gain an appreciation for the complexity and ingenuity behind the systems that ensure their luggage arrives on time and intact. As we embark on this exploration, it is my hope that this book will not only inform but also inspire. The realm of airport luggage systems is a testament to human ingenuity and collaboration, reflecting our ability to solve complex problems through innovation and teamwork. Welcome to the intricate and fascinating world of airport luggage systems.

The Aviation and Transportation Security Act mandates that by December 2002 100 percent of checked baggage be screened. Can this schedule be met? RAND assessed the feasibility of using explosive detection system machines or whether less-expensive explosive trace detection machines could shoulder part of the load. After studying operations at Dulles and Dallas-Fort Worth Airports, the authors concluded that a bottom-up approach on an airport-by-airport basis was better than the top-down approach mandated by the FAA. They identified six problem areas and propose improvements that, while not meeting the deadline, will increase security.
