Description

The Transportation Security Admin. (TSA) is responsible for screening all checked baggage in U.S. airports for explosives & has deployed explosive detection systems & developed standard procedures for their use. TSA also allows alternative screening procedures (ASP) to be used for short-term, special circumstances. This report addresses: (1) how TSA prioritized the use of checked baggage screening procedures & identified trade-offs in security effectiveness & operational efficiencies; (2) how TSA reported use of the procedures & ensured that standard procedures are used whenever possible; & (3) what steps TSA took to reduce airports’ need to use ASP & to establish performance measures to monitor their use.
