Baggage reconciliation systems
Baggage Reconciliation Systems (BRS) Background: According to the rules of most air transportation authorities, such as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union's Joint Aviation Authorities, in the event that a passenger flying internationally with checked‐in baggage fails to arrive at the departure gate before the flight is closed, that person's baggage must be retrieved from the aircraft hold before the flight is permitted to take off. Making sure passengers board flights onto which they have checked baggage is called "passenger‐baggage reconciliation" and is accomplished automatically through various commercially available systems. The security presumption of passenger‐baggage reconciliation is that the majority of bombers will not want to kill themselves, and will not board an aircraft if they have caused a bomb to be placed in its hold. Furthermore any bag that is destined to be loaded onto a particular flight must first be scanned and checked before loading to ensure that there is record of that bag being checked‐in at the check‐in counter. If no record is found the bag will be prevented from being put into a loading container before
