Abstract

Performance measurement for airport security systems is a difficult trade-off between cost and validity. For X-ray screening the Threat Image Projection System (TIPS) provides a performance measurement tool that is at least face-valid, but X-ray is only one checkpoint task. This project developed and validated an observational measure for non-X-ray checkpoint tasks such as hand search of baggage or passenger pat-down.
