• Description:
  The results presented in this report are a compilation of data collected at Northwest Airlines terminal, General Mitchell International Airport, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from February 22-24, 1994. The study was conducted in support of the Aviation Security Human Factors Research Program located at the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center (FAATC), Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey. Real-time (e.g., at the ticket counter and gate) passenger profiling was conducted February 22-24, 1994 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Passengers on twenty-one Northwest Airline flights were profiled according to parameters set forth by the Passenger Profiling Subject Matter Expert panel. One hundred ten passengers (82.7%) were cleared by the profile; twenty-three (17.3%) were not cleared. The mean time to profile was 1 minute 23 seconds. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a subsequent Least Square Difference (LSD) multiple comparison showed it took significantly longer to profile passengers who were not cleared (mean = 1 minute 27 seconds) than to profile pa who were cleared (mean = 1 minute 9 seconds) F(131, 1) = 36.87, p = . 000. Interview and anecdotal data are also summarized in the report.
