Screeners brace for baggage
ATLANTA (AP) - The mil
lions of passengers who file
through airport gates during
Thanksgiving week will be
accompanied by a holiday
baggage barrage.
And no airport will be bus
ier than Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International
Airport, where more than
1.7 million passengers are
expected to pack the termi
nals during the holiday week
- the most since the terror
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
New security guidelines
that limit carry-on liquids
have only increased the bag
gage crush, prompting a 25
percent increase in checked
baggage at the airport, said
Ben DeCosta, the airport’s
general manager.
Yet the holiday rush
shouldn’t lead to a notice
able bump in lost bags if
the airport’s new automat
ed baggage system stands
up to its greatest challenge
yet: Handling the busiest
week of the year for the
world’s busiest airport. The
Transportation Security
Administration’s $l7O mil
lion system, which began
operating in July, replaces
a handful of minivan-sized
machines that screened bags
for explosives on the air
port’s cluttered hallways.
Checked bags now are
sent to a vast underground
network of conveyor belts
IHacon
■■■MALL
a Prime Retail experience
that looks like a complicated
game of chutes and ladders.
Along that stretch, a handful
of explosive detection devic
es snap X-rays of each piece
and alert a bank of TSA
screeners in another room to
any possible problems.
The screeners decide
whether the bags need per
sonal inspection. Those that
do are sent to another room,
where officers hand search
each bag. The system can
check about 7,000 bags an
hour. The TSA paid $93.5 mil
lion of the cost, the Federal
Aviation Administration
chipped in $39 million while
the airport paid the rest, said
TSA spokesman Christopher
White.
