MIT
experts suggest stronger screening
Washington:
New research by MIT and Harvey Mudd College experts has suggested
that terror attacks can be minimized by strengthening the airport screening
of travelers, and not just suspects. The new research titled "How Effective
is Security Screening of Airline Passengers?" by Professors Susan E. Martonosi
of the Department of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College, and Arnold Barnett
of the Operations Research Center, Sloan School of Management at MIT focused
on the principles of Operations Research (OR), a discipline that uses
advanced analytical methods grounded in mathematics to make better decisions
on airline security. Martonosi and Barnett's paper suggests that the more
effective way to prevent terror attacks might be to focus on improving
the X-ray, metal and explosives detection technology used on all travelers
and their luggage, even though those measures are time- consuming. The
Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)
has published the paper in its December 2006 issue, which is dedicated
to homeland security topics.
