Claim 19:
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for streamlining baggage screening across a plurality of modes of transportation, the method comprising:
a. scanning a baggage item using a computed tomography imaging system that exports imagery of the baggage item to a baggage imagery collection;
b. scanning at least one of a machine-readable license plate identification of the baggage item and a machine-readable Baggage Source Message (BSM) of the baggage item to generate a bag identification record that uniquely identifies the baggage item and associated passenger data;
c. uploading the baggage imagery collection and the bag identification record to a secure cloud storage system;
d. extrapolating a screening manifest from the bag identification record, the screening manifest enumerating at least one second mode of transportation that requires baggage screening under rules and regulations specific to the at least one second mode of transportation that are different from rules and regulations applied by a first security authority (FSA);
e. reanalyzing the baggage imagery collection according to the rules and regulations specific to the at least one second mode of transportation identified in the screening manifest;
f. determining whether the reanalyzed baggage imagery collection complies with the rules and regulations specific to the at least one second mode of transportation identified in the screening manifest and creating a baggage authorization record enumerating a security compliance result for the at least one second mode of transportation in the screening manifest, the security compliance result represented by at least one of an indicium affixed to the baggage item and an electronic data transmission; and
g. approving or prohibiting direct delivery of the baggage item by a trusted custody handler for at least one second mode of transportation indicated in the indicium whereby if the indicium reports a positive security compliance result for the at least one second mode of transportation, the trusted custody handler may directly deliver the baggage item to the at least one second mode of transportation without additional, physical security screening, and if the indicium reports a negative security compliance result for the at least one second mode of transportation, the baggage item is sent for physical security screening at a holding facility or directly to the at least one second mode of transportation.
