  • Abstract:
    The purpose of this report is to describe quantitatively the costs and benefits of screener

    proficiency evaluation and reporting systems (SPEARS) equipment, particularly computer-based

    instruction (CBI) systems, compared to current methods of training, selection, operational

    certification, operational evaluation and recurrent training.

    Part of this effort involves statistical analysis of data derived from actual screeners performing

    simulated screening on one CBI system,the Public Computer Systems, Inc. (PCSI) Safe

    Passage System (TM). PCSI agreed to cooperate with the Federal Aviation Administration

    (FAA) on this study following an FAA announcement in the Commerce Business Daily.

    All data was analyzed from each of five major domestic airline sites equipped with Safe

    Passage. In all, these data represent results from 1465 screeners on more than 1.5 million

    decisions to pass, inspect or hold X-rayed baggage images.

    Preliminary results not only suggest a low percentage of critical errors on Safe Passage

    images, but also suggest that there is room for improvement in several image categories

    including: Explosives, Knives, Other Sharp Objects, and Suspicious Innocent. These categories

    showed less than 80% accuracy. The results also suggest that CBI can be effective in

    accomplishing the needed improvements, establishing performance near orabove 90% for all

    image categories.
