Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Section 108 requires air carriers in the United States to provide for the safety and security of passengers and their property. To comply, air carriers procure equipment and trained personnel to screen passengers and their carry-on baggage before they board the aircraft. The evaluation will include the collection and analysis of empirical data on the automatic exposive detection capabilities of the X-ray equipment as well as the human factors issues involved in alarm resolution. Systems to be evaluated include the SAT developed by EG&G Astrophysics, Rapiscan Security Products, Vivid Technologies, Inc., and Heimann Systems.
