TSA Aims to Improve Performance with Human Behavioral Studies
How can a federal transportation security officer’s thought process influence baggage screening decisions? The Transportation Security Administration and Sandia Research Laboratories are investigating the impacts on threat detection when officers are asked to switch between TSA Pre-Check and standard passenger lanes.
According to Eurasia Review, the research project assesses whether TSA’s airport security officers “experience cognitive impacts when switching from the pre-check lane to a standard lane, and vice versa.”
