  dedicated to Aviation Security.

  2.5 billion to 6 billion of labor costs

The Problem

• Security gaps in the airline industry
• Authorized security fees of up to 10 per round
  trip per passenger
• (TSA) has invested billions of dollars to supply
  more highly-trained security agents and expensive
  metal and bomb detecting equipment.
• Current system gives passengers no incentive to
  limit the baggage they carry.
• Existing baggage practices add to both security
  risks and costs to air travel

8
The Problem

• Airline industry losses
• Industry transports more than double the number
  of bags than passengers.
• Enormous labor and equipment cost.
• Most airlines do not track or adequately recover
  the cost for transporting baggage.

9
Benefits to Homeland SecurityThreat of Attacks

• Decline in passenger baggage reduces the prospect
  of infiltration of terrorist devices onboard
  airplanes and reduces the chances for security
  breaches.
• Managing security measures to protect passengers
  becomes easier when baggage is separated from its
  passengers.
• Lack of information on the specific aircraft or
  trucks used for baggage transportation makes the
  likelihood of terrorist attacks more
  difficult.

10
Benefits to Homeland Security Opportunities for
Reduced Spending

• Fewer bags being brought to airports, thereby
  contributing to further reduction in number of
  security screeners and related equipment costs.
• Expected savings could range from 550 million to
  1.2 billion.
• Reduced demand for baggage screening
• Reduced security-related problems and costs.
• Faster and enhanced security
  check-in.
