This paper is the result of an examination of plans for implementing explosive detection systems for checked baggage at all U.S. airports, and it contains suggested changes to the existing plans for implementation of the systems. The work was funded by RAND's independent research and development funds. It should be of interest to those concerned about whether the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) plans (now part of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act) appropriately respond to the security threats against our air transportation system. It should also interest those who wish to better understand how to address the natural tension between unfettered access to our commercial aircraft and enhanced transportation security.
