Abstract: Computer-implemented security for the travel industry. Travel industry systems can supply passenger, employee, and cargo data to a risk assessment engine that services the travel industry. The risk assessment engine collects data from throughout the travel industry and combines it with data from other government and commercial sources. The risk assessment engine uses the collected data to compute a score that quantifies the potential risk posed by a particular person or package. The score can be used by a variety of systems in the travel industry to adjust a level for screening people and packages that enter a secure travel system. A more comprehensive and accurate scoring system allows the travel industry to conduct more intelligent and efficient screening of people and packages that enter the secure travel system.
