Description
Summary:This document is the Test and Evaluation Plan (T&E) for a prototype system to manually passively profile passengers on domestic flights. The goal was to develop a profile to identify domestic passengers judged not to represent a terrorist threat. The initial profiling data elements were identified through contributions from Federal Aviation Administration/Assistant Administration for Civil Aviation Security (FAA/ACS) personnel and Northwest Airlines Security personnel. These elements were evaluated and refined at a Subject-Matter Expert (SME) workshop using Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Customs, airline security personnel, and FAA personnel. A worksheet and scoring procedures for using the profiling elements were developed so that domestic passengers could be profiled by airline or other personnel. A field test of the feasibility of the Manual Domestic Passive Profiling (MDPP) worksheet was conducted at the Milwaukee Airport. The results will be analyzed and become part of a later document.
