COVER STORY
you have a quiet atmosphere, lights
dimmed, and you can concentrate on
what you're doing. You have specialized
officers, but you can do that at
the back of the checkpoint to allow
you to multiplex those lanes, " he adds.
" What we're working on is really
two things. One is related to the
patent. The idea is if you're able to
port that image to the conference
room that's adjacent to the checkpoint,
why couldn't you actually port
that same image 100 or 1,000 miles
away and do remote screening that
is very redundant and with a lot of
resilience so that you don't have issues
with IT security and other risk issues?
If you could do that, then it would
allow you to shape peaks across the
country, by time zone and by carrier
so that you can more efficiently
utilize your people, " Kair continues.
" This solution allows TSA to have
specialization where they can implement
effective and highly trained
people. This system's use of massive
multiplexing and associated covert
nodes presents a rare opportunity for
significant labor savings and increased
airport security performance. TSA
can build out these interpretation
centers across the country to centralize
the (airlines' baggage) screening
and realize much more efficiency and
better effectiveness. "
Kair says that his team at Chertoff
has been working with IDSS using
private funding and government contracts
to develop this system insisting
that the solution is not about reducing
headcount but more about moving staff
that is doing the image interpretation
remotely and having them work as a
specialized group. For Kair, it's about
helping an airport better utilize its staff
to mitigate threats that are identified
either locally or identified remotely.
Because image interpretation can be
conducted offsite, this is a great solution
for cargo carriers, both for passengers
and all cargo.
" This could also help achieve regulatory
requirements from regulatory
authorities such as TSA and the EU, "
he concludes, adding that the solution
will likely be brought to market
at domestic and international airports
and that the open-architecture technology
is built so any CT manufacturer
can use this platform if they use the
industry standard DICOS format. 
