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.
