InnoCentive Challenge #2: New Bag Tracking and/or Tagging Concepts for Risk Based Security of Checked Baggage Screening

This notice is hereby amended to add an additional challenge as follows: Risk Based Security includes multiple security layers, and one such area is the screening of checked baggage. TSA currently can designate a passenger as low risk which can be encoded in that passenger's boarding pass and used to determine which type of checkpoint screening that passenger will receive (standard, TSA Pre?TM, etc.). TSA is looking for new and innovative means to associate an individual's screening designation with their checked baggage within a Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) environment. This may include securely encoding some form of media, bag tag or other data exchange method. The passenger's screening designation has to be reliably interpreted by automated means as the bag travels through the baggage handling and security process. This will allow bags to be routed for varying and appropriate levels of screening in accordance with their associated screening designation and would result in a more efficient and effective use of TSA resources.
