The disclosures of each of the above applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. background 1. Field 【0003】 This disclosure pertains to asset management in general. Specifically, it concerns systems and methods for extracting data that would otherwise be discarded and reusing it to reduce data entry. 2. Explanation of related technologies [Background technology] 【0004】 Airline carriers typically offer passengers the service of checking in their personal baggage, with or without a baggage fee. Baggage is often weighed to determine whether an additional fee is required. After that, baggage tags printed by the airline are attached to the baggage. Each mobile carrier may have its own unique format for printing baggage tags at its counters. This process consumes human resources as staff working behind the counter complete passenger check-in, print boarding passes, check in baggage, and print and attach baggage tags. Airline carriers have also introduced kiosk terminals where passengers can print their own baggage tags, freeing up the time of counter staff. This allows passengers to attach pre-printed tags without using the human resources of counter staff. 【0005】 According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the average daily passenger count for fiscal year 2021 was approximately 1.6 million. In fiscal year 2019, the average daily passenger count was approximately 2.9 million. Some of these passengers are returning from their trips. Furthermore, this group of returning passengers includes those returning from cruise ships and large resorts. 【0006】 Numerous attempts have been made to reduce baggage handling costs, particularly those related to baggage handling from large accommodations, passenger departures, and return flight check-in. To simplify baggage handling in transit, passengers are offered the option to select services from third-party vendors as needed, requesting pickup (collection) of themselves and / or their baggage and transportation to the airport. Baggage can be collected from any location, such as home, office, or hotel, and delivered to a designated location without the passenger's presence. 【0007】 Another method of handling baggage is to utilize hotel and other accommodation staff for this purpose. The biggest drawback of this is that employees cannot handle baggage in addition to their regular duties, as they cannot respond to tasks arising from other passengers using the accommodation's facilities. In recent years, hiring additional staff has become difficult due to the impact of COVID-19. Furthermore, labor costs have risen. For facilities such as cruise ships, increasing the number of staff to handle additional tasks is not only unrealistic from a cost perspective, but it would also reduce the profitability of the cruise by sacrificing paying passengers to cover the employment costs of the staff. Printing baggage tags and boarding passes occupies space on the cruise ship that could be used for passenger accommodation or as additional revenue opportunities. 【0008】 Some baggage handling services attach valet receipts or tags to baggage. This process also requires the acceptance of IATA-standard printed baggage tags (with baggage identification numbers) as an alternative to valet receipts or tags. In the highly competitive accommodation business, this process is not cost-effective. Overall, baggage handling services require passengers to order the service via a website or mobile app, enter various passenger information that may be prone to errors, and pay the fee. Passengers can remotely check in for flights by providing necessary flight information for their travel itinerary in advance via a website or mobile app. While this process may seem fine at first glance, it is susceptible to data entry errors and can become very expensive when combined with baggage handling fees and the additional cost of temporary valet tickets. In many cases, baggage tags are removed and discarded upon arrival to make space for return baggage tags after the passenger arrives at their destination. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve] 【0009】 The average large cruise ship has a capacity of approximately 3,000 passengers. Larger ships can accommodate up to 5,400. All passengers returning home using airlines or other mobile carriers need to check in for their return flights. While onboard staff can handle pre-check-in and baggage check-in for return flights, this consumes valuable human resources that should be allocated to disembarkation. There is a need for a system and process that addresses these challenges, streamlines costs and time, and is easy for all passengers to use. 【0010】 Thousands of passengers cross borders using airports every day. The processing of baggage items by customs authorities in any of these countries can cause delays in baggage for subsequent flights.

[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0197】 Embodiments are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, similar or equivalent elements are designated using similar reference numerals. The drawings are not to scale and are provided solely for the purpose of illustrating the embodiments disclosed herein. Several embodiments disclosed are described below with reference to non-limiting illustrative applications for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that numerous specific details, relationships, and methods are described in order to fully understand the embodiments disclosed herein. However, a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art will readily recognize that the disclosed embodiments can be implemented without one or more specific details, or by other means. In other examples, well-known structures or operations are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the embodiments disclosed herein. Embodiments are not limited by the order of the illustrated operations or events, for some operations may occur in a different order and / or in parallel with other operations or events. Furthermore, not all illustrated operations or events are required to implement the methodology according to the embodiments. 【0198】 While the numerical ranges and parameters that define a broad range are approximations, the numerical values ​​shown in specific, non-limiting examples are reported as accurately as possible. However, any numerical value inherently contains a certain degree of error that inevitably arises from the standard deviation in each test measurement. Furthermore, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include all subranges contained therein. For example, the range "less than 10" includes all subranges between the minimum value of zero and the maximum value of 10 (including both ends), i.e., all subranges where the minimum value is greater than or equal to zero and the maximum value is less than or equal to 10 (e.g., 1 to 4). 【0199】 Baggage handling and delivery Providing a seamless and virtually error-free experience in the handling and transfer of baggage items as passengers travel along their itinerary contributes to a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience. Passengers know their destination, but their baggage items do not. Baggage items are handled physically, for example, with license plates attached, and handed over from the passenger to airline staff. From there, baggage items pass through airport infrastructure via the Baggage Handling System (BHS) 63 (Figure 1A) and are transported to the Security Tracking Zone 37 (Figure 1A). 【0200】 When a passenger with checked baggage arrives at an airport border crossing in another country (hereinafter referred to as a "cross-border airport"), the passenger can depart the cross-border airport via two different lanes. The first lane is the terminal lane, where the baggage and passenger terminate the airport infrastructure. The second lane is the transit lane, where the baggage and passenger transfer to another airline carrier and travel to a destination within the territory of the cross-border country, or to another cross-border country. In the case of a transit lane, the checked baggage may be required to undergo re-screening by the screening authority necessary for air travel. For example, in the United States, the authority for screening / re-screening rests with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The necessity of re-screening will be discussed later. 【0201】 The government agency responsible for airline security screening is the TSA, which is under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Meanwhile, the screening process for cruise ships may be regulated by the Coast Guard or the DHS's Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The DHS may allow cruise companies to establish additional rules, provided they meet minimum government regulations. The TSA may also regulate baggage screening on rail systems trains and bus carriers. Similar regulations and powers regarding aviation security screening and / or customs may exist in other countries. 【0202】 Security screening integration Other modes of transport (i.e., vehicles) may use screening techniques that are less stringent, different, or of equivalent quality than those required by the TSA or other aviation screening authorities for travel by airline when screening baggage items upon boarding trains, buses, cruise ships, or entering accommodations. High-tech security screening images regulated by the TSA for travel by airline may be used for screening by cruise ships, other airlines, accommodations / resorts, government agencies, etc., when a passenger departs from an airline (first mode of transport) and begins the next segment of travel, including screening by a second mode of transport (i.e., a second vehicle) or bus, train, cruise ship, other airline, accommodation / resort, government agency, etc., if there is a direct connection, and may be used to reduce the number of baggage screenings on other modes of transport. These security screening images required by the TSA or other government agencies may be shared for analysis in accordance with regulations related to other modes of transport or screening, without compromising the effectiveness of the screening process. To maintain the integrity of image-based transportation analysis, the corresponding tagged baggage items will be stored under the care of a trusted custodian until they are handed over to the next mode of transport (bus, train, cruise ship, second airline, accommodation / resort) and / or the next government agency conducting border control. 【0203】 Today, thousands of passengers travel by air daily from one country to another. The time required for security screening of arriving baggage items for boarding departure flights, and customs inspections for entry via airports, are among the bottlenecks. However, in the case of connecting flights, checked baggage remains under the care of a trusted custodian. In this embodiment, if security screening at the departure airport meets the security screening level of a second security screening authority, the need for re-screening by security screening imaging equipment can be eliminated by sharing security screening images, provided that the baggage items meet the standards of the security screening authority of the country in question. 【0204】 Past challenges can be addressed by this method and system, which uses the IATA license plate number to obtain security images and data of the generated PID and the contents of the baggage item. This eliminates the need to transfer or access other personally identifiable information (PII) related to the passenger, and expedites baggage item processing at customs and border checkpoint security screening. 【0205】 In this specification, "means of transportation" and "means of transport" are used interchangeably. Similarly, "means of transportation" and "vehicles" are used interchangeably. However, "means of transportation" and "vehicles" may also include accommodation and resort facilities. 【0206】 While this specification describes U.S. government regulatory agencies, other countries, or groups of countries under treaties, may also have transportation security regulations that require security screening of baggage items boarding vehicles, other destinations, or countries. 【0207】 The processes and systems disclosed herein acquire baggage identification information using parallel methods and obtain license plate numbers without input from passengers or other employees. The license plate numbers are used to obtain pseudo-identifiers (PIDs) or primary IDs, which depersonalize the baggage item manifests of checked baggage items terminating at the airport or being transported to another mobile carrier (i.e., an airline carrier). The depersonalized baggage item manifests provide customs authorities with access to depersonalized shared security screening images, enabling the examination and approval of the contents within the spatial volume of the baggage item. 【0208】 The one-way travel processes and systems described herein also apply to the reverse journey, which involves returning passengers. 【0209】 Figure 1A shows at least one baggage manifest 121 1 , ..., 121 x A block diagram of system 100 that creates the manifest is shown. The system may be triggered by a termination B-type message according to one or more embodiments. A termination B-type message is a B-type message that includes an IATA license plate. In one or more embodiments, system 100 may include a server 148. System 100 has at least one unpersonalized baggage manifest 121 1 , ..., 121 x Parallel data streams can be used to create them. 【0210】 In one or more embodiments, the IATA license plate number may serve as a primary key or linking index key for identifying shared security screening images (SSIs) and pseudo-identifiers (PIDs) within the database, as illustrated in Figure 2B. 【0211】 Server 148 may include a programming module 149. One or more programming modules 149 may include software, hardware, firmware, or a combination of software, hardware, and firmware. 【0212】 BSM generation The Departure Control System (DCS) manages various airline operations, including airport check-in, baggage check-in (i.e., baggage items), generation of Passenger Baggage Tag Identifiers (BTIDs), and data formatting for baggage tag printing. Baggage tags are formatted according to rules published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and include, for example, a 10-digit license plate. Typically, one or more IATA Type B messages are generated, containing the license plate and flight information. 【0213】 DCS31 may begin the process of generating data for printing hard copy baggage tags at the point of departure when the passenger checks in for the flight. This may be done within the check-in window, which in some cases is 24 hours prior to the flight time. However, not all passengers check in early. Therefore, the timing of BSM arrival at System 100 may vary. 【0214】 IATA baggage tags for airline mobile carriers include tags with a standardized sequence of numbers or barcodes to identify baggage items and match them with passengers. If a passenger does not board a flight, baggage items may not be loaded onto the aircraft even if they have been checked in. In some cases, baggage items may be lost. In such situations, the baggage handling system 63 generates a Type B message or a baggage information message as the baggage items are transported through the baggage handling system 63. 【0215】 Naturally, BSM data may be altered, for example, after the BSM data is created, due to passenger changes and / or adverse weather conditions, as a result of the normal operation of the mobile carrier. Therefore, the departure BSM created at check-in may not be the same as the terminal BSM sent to system 100. Type B message data may be altered as baggage items pass through airport infrastructure. Some Type B messages may be generated by the baggage handling system 63 when it interacts with baggage items. 【0216】 Airport Terminal Type B Message Data The travel information system 108 generates a Type B message 152 when a baggage item (for example, passenger baggage 138 in Figure 1B) is checked in for a passenger. The travel information system 108 may include a flight manifest 151 stored in a database associated with, for example, an airline carrier's computer system. A passenger may check in multiple baggage items. This process is essentially replicated for all baggage items checked in by the passenger. 【0217】 As a non-limiting example, a Type B message may be a baggage source message (BSM), which is described in more detail in relation to Figure 14. The travel information system 108 or other computer systems associated with the airline carrier may transmit the terminal BSM to or via the destination / terminal airport. The baggage handling system 63 may generate other Type B messages in accordance with standard operating procedures for baggage handling at the airport. Although this specification describes terminal BSMs, other terminal Type B messages, including terminal codes and IATA license plates, may be used now or in the future. 【0218】 An airline carrier generates and stores one or more Type B messages 152. These Type B messages may include one or more of the following: Baggage Transfer Message (BTM), Baggage Source Message (BSM), Baggage Processing Message (BPM), Baggage Unloading Message (BUM), Baggage Unconfirmed Message (BNS), Baggage Management Message (BCM), Baggage Manifest Message (BMM), and Baggage Request (BRQ). The baggage tag number is part of the baggage message. In one or more embodiments, the Type B message may include the passenger name and PNR number. This allows access to other information based on the baggage tag number (i.e., IATA license plate number). 【0219】 The travel information system 108 may include a Type B message communication unit 153 configured to transmit or receive a termination BSM to the server 148. In one or more embodiments, the Type B message 152 and the Type B message communication unit 153 may be associated with a computer system or server system associated with an airline mobile carrier or BHS 63. The Type B message may include other messages indicating the status of baggage items. The Type B message may be retrieved by the server 148 by an upload or download operation. 【0220】 Server 148 may include programming instructions that cause the programming module 149 to receive a B-type message, such as a terminating BSM, via the terminating B-type message receiver 158. The terminating B-type message receiver 158 may be a terminating BSM receiver. The terminating BSM may be, for example, for an airline at an airport where a flight carrying checked baggage items terminates at the final airport destination. At the final airport destination, the baggage items leave the airport infrastructure. In one or more embodiments, the baggage items leaving the airport infrastructure may then be transported by a second means of transport. Terminating airport coding within the terminating BSM is described in relation to Figure 14A. The receiver 158 may include programming instructions that cause the receiver to receive a message based on a baggage source indicator indicating a terminating B-type message at runtime. 【0221】 Security screening support trigger A termination type B message matching the flight number is used to trigger a security screening integrated support system 190 (Figure 16) for the purpose of expediting or bypassing security screening of baggage items via customs authorities and / or for the next means of transport (transport vehicle). In one or more embodiments, the security screening integrated support system 190 can be used as an SS computer station 372. 【0222】 The inventors have confirmed that an IATA license plate can be used as a link key to airline information to construct an unpersonalized baggage item manifest record and to provide unpersonalized security screening image (SSI) file sharing data 306A, 306B. This unpersonalized SSI file sharing data provides access to security images and data 113 or 113' (Figures 2B to 2C) previously captured by security screening (SS) imaging devices 45, 50 used by the airline to allow baggage items to be loaded onto an airline in another country, or to screen baggage items for departure from the airport and crossing the border in the cross-border country where they arrived. While this process is described in relation to an air mobile carrier, it is applicable to other mobile carriers as well. 【0223】 After check-in and handover, baggage items pass through the automated conveyor system of the First Security Screening Machine System (FSSMS) 40 in Security Tracking Zone 37 before being loaded into the aircraft's cargo hold. The initial screening process may utilize large X-ray equipment, as detailed in Figure 16. These devices are designed to detect a variety of substances, including explosives and other prohibited items. Baggage is inspected using a dual-energy X-ray system, allowing security personnel to distinguish between organic and inorganic materials based on their atomic number. This enables the identification of potentially hazardous materials. If suspicious items are detected during the X-ray scan, the baggage is separated for further inspection. Typically, a physical inspection is performed by trained security personnel, sometimes in conjunction with advanced scanning techniques such as CT (computed tomography) scanners (i.e., CT imaging devices 45, 50). This provides more detailed 3D images of the baggage contents. In some cases, explosive trace detection devices (ETDs) may also be used. These devices can detect traces of explosives on items, either externally or internally, of the baggage. In one or more embodiments, the screening involves wiping luggage or an item and analyzing the wiped sample to detect explosive residue. 【0224】 Security tracking zone 37 is equipped with at least one automated tag reader (ATR) 68 capable of scanning origin hard copy baggage tags affixed to baggage items or receiving radio frequency identifiers (RFID) from RFID baggage tags. The ATR 68 may be equipped with a laser scanner for scanning the barcode of the license plate printed on the origin hard copy baggage tag. The ATR 68 may include a receiver for receiving the RFID representing the license plate number. Alternatively, different types of ATRs may be employed in zone 37. 【0225】 Security images (SSIs), such as 3D images, and data are stored in non-temporary, tangible memory 113. In this specification, SSIs and data, as well as hardware for storing SSIs and data, may all be referred to by the same reference number 113. FSSMS40 activities may be governed and regulated by the rules of the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) in the United States, other national authorities, or authorized contractors. However, the contents of checked baggage items may vary depending on the baggage items brought onto the cruise ship, the baggage items permitted at the resort, or in some countries. 【0226】 Security screening rules may differ from country to country. 【0227】 As a non-limiting example, the Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) system 190, described in relation to Figure 16, may be used to assist in bypassing security screening independently conducted by cruise ships, train stations, bus terminals, resorts, or accommodations. In this case, the secure storage of baggage items from the cargo hold of an airline carrier may be transferred to a trusted storage handler to maintain the security integrity of the baggage items at the next means of transport. This can reduce the processing load on security screening lines at cruise ships, train stations, bus terminals, resorts, and accommodations. More importantly, by reducing the processing of pre-screened baggage items stored under trusted management, changes to security screening algorithms can be limited, thereby speeding up the processing lines. Otherwise, long queues reduce the effectiveness of security screening, causing passengers to be unable to pass through customs and miss connecting flights or other itineraries. 【0228】 The programming module 149 may include a security screening trigger generation unit 170. The security screening trigger generation unit 170 may have programming instructions that trigger the Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) engine 175 and / or the Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) system 190 (Figure 16) at runtime. The trigger may identify baggage items that need to undergo security screening for their next mode of transport, for example, based on matching passengers on manifest MX with terminal BSM or B-type messages. The security screening trigger generation unit 170 can generate triggers to expedite the processing of security screening images and data files from the originating airline's FSSMS 40 before baggage items are unloaded from the airline's cargo hold. This saves valuable machine resources by eliminating the need to unnecessarily re-photograph baggage items for which TSA-quality images already exist containing information useful for the next mode of transport. As a non-limiting example, for baggage items entering a US cross-border airport, security screening images from countries that perform image processing equivalent to or better than TSA inspection quality can be used. The application process for baggage entering the United States described herein is also applicable to baggage items entering other countries using approved shared security screening images. 【0229】 The security screening trigger generation unit 170 has programming instructions that trigger the Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) engine 175 at runtime, which may identify baggage items that need to be subject to customs screening by customs authorities upon entry into a country. System 100 prepares at least one depersonalized baggage manifest 121 for flights arriving at a cross-border airport. 1 , ..., 121 x It can be configured to construct... 【0230】 As an example, the depersonalized baggage manifest 121 1, …, 121 x can include a list of depersonalized LIM records, PIDs, and / or SSI file names linked to saved images of baggage items that terminate at airport infrastructure of a cross-border airport. This list is sent to the SS computer workstations of customs authorities or other government agencies. 【0231】 As an example, depersonalized baggage manifest 121 1 , …, 121 x may be created for customs authorities for baggage items destined for airport infrastructure of a cross-border airport and may include notations for baggage items that are transferred to a second means of transport by a reliable custodian to expedite or bypass security screening of the second means of transport using depersonalized shared image data. 【0232】 As will be described later in connection with FIG. 1C, depersonalized baggage manifest 121 1 , …, 121 x may be created for customs authorities for baggage items transferring to another airline at a cross-border airport. 【0233】 Airport Terminal B Type Message Processing 【0234】 System 100 may include a non-temporary, tangible memory device 162 for storing received Type B messages (i.e., termination BSMs). The programming module 149 may include a Type B message receiving unit 158 ​​and one or more Type B message processing modules 160. Each received Type B message is processed by one or more Type B message processing modules 160. The Type B message processing modules 160 include programming instructions that cause a Type B message sorting unit 164 to sort the Type B messages and separate the termination BSMs at runtime. This sorting process may include sorting by cross-border airport, date, arrival time, or one or more destination or airport location codes associated with the moving carrier. This allows for the setting of resource schedules for handling baggage volume so that the transport route experience of baggage items is on schedule. 【0235】 The Type B message processing module 160 may include one or more message sorting units 164. The message sorting unit 164 sorts Type B messages at runtime and may include programming instructions to search for Type B messages that match the terminal airport code associated with the cross-border airport and / or flight number for a specific day of the week or time period. This makes it possible to construct a baggage manifest for baggage items whose destination is the terminal airport of the cross-border country, and to use the system 100 to handle and deliver the baggage, and to perform customs clearance and / or security clearance processing. 【0236】 In one or more embodiments, baggage items terminating at a cross-border airport may be subject to customs screening. In another example, baggage items terminating at an airport may be subject to security screening for either accommodation or other means of transportation. 【0237】 B-type messages, such as BSMs, may include baggage source indicators that show a terminated BSM and an unterminated BSM, as illustrated in relation to Figure 14. An unterminated BSM or B-type message can be local, forwarded, or remote, as illustrated in relation to Figure 14. 【0238】 As a non-limiting example, system 100 may include a programming module 149 which contains programming instructions and may be configured to receive Type B messages from each airport at runtime and initiate sorting and matching of the received Type B messages based on the airport's schedule and operating hours. Some airports are cross-border airports. Airports that do not accept international flights may not require customs screening. 【0239】 In one or more embodiments, matching by one or more Type B message matching units 166 may include program instructions, when executed, that cause at least one processor to perform matching between airline information and / or flight numbers in the received BSM or Type B message and airline information and flight numbers in the manifest MX of a second means of transport, which is different from the first means of transport or flight manifest 151. The airline information may include airport codes. In some embodiments, baggage items are transferred from the first means of transport to the second means of transport and terminated. However, as described in relation to Figures 10A to 10B and Figures 11A to 11B, they may remain with a trusted custodian to bypass or expedite security screening by the second means of transport. 【0240】 In one or more embodiments, the matching by one or more B-type message matching units 166 may include a programming instruction that causes at least one processor at runtime to match the airline information and / or flight number in the received termination BSM or B-type message with the airline information and flight number in the flight manifest associated with the airline code of the flight number. 【0241】 System 100 is a depersonalized baggage manifest 121 1 , ..., 121 x This would allow baggage items to virtually pass customs screening while, for example, certain information is concealed. 【0242】 The Type B message processing module 160 may include programming instructions, which, when executed, cause one or more Type B message data extraction units 168 to extract baggage identification information (LII) from the Type B message and supply that data to the baggage item manifest record creation unit 185. For example, the extracted information may include the IATA license plate number. The baggage item manifest (LIM) record 186 may include an entry for the license plate number from the Type B message. 【0243】 In one or more embodiments, the extracted information transmitted to the baggage item manifest record creation unit 185 may include the IATA license plate number, passenger name, and / or passenger name record number. The baggage item manifest record creation unit 185 may include programming instructions that cause the IATA license plate number, passenger name, and / or passenger name record number to be entered into the LIM record 186 at runtime. In a non-limiting example, the data in the LIM record 186 may be used to update the data in the manifest MX of the second means of transport. 【0244】 As described later, the LIM record 186 may be updated with location data, itinerary data, or booking data from the scanning device. The LIM record 186 may include a tracking device identifier associated with the baggage item. 【0245】 The security screening trigger generation unit 170 interacts with the baggage item manifest record creation unit 185 at runtime and can include programming instructions that generate triggers for baggage items requiring customs screening or security screening, and trigger the SSIA engine 175. 【0246】 The baggage manifest record creation unit 185 may include programming instructions that cause at least one processor to query a database to identify a PID associated with the IATA license plate number of a flight number landing at a cross-border airport, as described in Figures 2A to 2B. The baggage item manifest record 186 may include PID 204 or 204' and may include the license plate number 202 of the associated baggage item (Figures 2A to 2B). In one or more embodiments, the baggage item manifest record 186 may include the converted PID 204" (Figure 2C) and the associated baggage item's license plate number 202 (Figures 2A to 2B) matched to a Type B message. In one or more embodiments, the baggage item manifest record 186 may be encrypted and protected to maintain a secure link between the PID 204 or 204' and the associated baggage item's license plate number 202. For example, identification of a baggage item may be necessary in situations where the baggage item cannot pass through customs authorities or security clearance in another country using depersonalized data. The baggage item's license plate number 202 or other unique global identifier is inferred from the depersonalized data and used to track the baggage item. 【0247】 The programming module 149 of the SSIA engine 175 may include a LIM record depersonalization processing unit 188, a depersonalized SSI file sharing package assembly unit 192, and a depersonalized SSI file sharing data package communication unit 194. 【0248】 The LIM record depersonalization processing unit 188 performs depersonalization processing on the LIM record 186 at runtime, and the depersonalized manifest 121 1 , ..., 121 x This may include additional programming instructions. The depersonalization process of LIM record 186 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 4A and 9A to 9B. The LIM record depersonalization processing unit 188 removes identification information from the baggage identification information associated with the passenger. A file holding keys to passenger identification information, such as the IATA license plate number and PID, is stored in encrypted and / or strictly restricted memory to protect the passenger's identity. LIM record 186 may be encrypted to protect the passenger's identity based on the IATA license plate number. 【0249】 The depersonalized SSI file sharing package assembly unit 192 may include programming instructions to assemble data from the depersonalized LIM record 186 at runtime and send it to the SS computer station 372. This data (i.e., depersonalized file sharing data) is configured to provide access to either the SSI or the data 113 (Figure 2B) using an SSI browsing application or a generated content list. The depersonalized SSI file sharing data package communication unit 194 may include programming instructions to communicate the assembled depersonalized file sharing data to the SS computer station 372 (Figures 3A to 3C) at runtime via the network interface. 【0250】 With respect to Figures 1A and 4B, the LIM record depersonalization processing unit 188 may include programming instructions to depersonalize security screening image file sharing data by at least one processor at runtime. This processing involves accessing a database or secondary shared memory for security screening images and data 113 or 113', or a content list 373 in the spatial capacity within a baggage item (Figure 3C), using PIDs 204, 204', or 204” (Figures 2A to 2C). By linking to a hyperlink to a location, depersonalization processing is performed. In one or more embodiments, the depersonalized security screening image file sharing data 306A or 306B may include a PID 204 and a hyperlink 954 embedded in the PID text sequence. 【0251】 The LIM record depersonalization processing unit 188 may include programming instructions for depersonalizing security screening image file sharing data by embedding hyperlinks within the text of PID 204, 204', or 204” at runtime by at least one processor. These hyperlinks provide access to the SSI and data 113 or 113' in a database or secondary shared memory location. In one or more embodiments, the text of the PID may have hyperlinks embedded in the PID text sequence. 【0252】 See also Figure 9B, the depersonalized security screening image file sharing data (depersonalization process) includes PID 204, 204', or 204” (Figures 2A to 2C) and the file name of the shared security screening image and data 113 or 113' (hereinafter referred to as the "SSI file name") (Figure 2B). The LIM record depersonalization unit 188 can include programming instructions that cause the depersonalization of the security screening image file sharing data 306A or 306B at runtime (Figures 3A to 3C). In this depersonalization process, at least one processor embeds a hyperlink 954' within the text of the SSI file name 206 or 206'. This hyperlink 954' provides access to the SSI and data 113 in a database or secondary shared memory location. In one or more embodiments, the text or characters of PID 204, 204', or 204” may, alternatively or additionally, have an embedded hyperlink 954' in the PID text sequence. The text sequence may contain alphanumeric characters. In some embodiments, the text may contain special characters. 【0253】 In one or more embodiments, the depersonalized baggage manifest 121 1 , …, 121 x may include at least one of the PID 204, 204’, 204” of the baggage item, or the SSI file name 206 or 206’. Further, the security screening trigger generation unit 170 may include programming instructions that generate a trigger to be transmitted to a security screening integration assistance (SSIA) system 190 (FIG. 16) using a wired or wireless communication protocol at runtime. In one or more embodiments, the SSI file name 206 may be converted to an encoded file name as described in connection with FIG. 8. The encoded file name may be encoded using the passenger's personally identifiable information (PII). As a non-limiting example, the encoded file name may be encoded as a series of numerical values using the passenger's date of birth. For example, the passenger's date of birth may be included in a part of the image file name. Other PII includes passport number, government-issued identification number, driver's license number, and other global identifiers, etc. 【0254】 In one or more embodiments, based on a match, a security screening integration assistance (SSIA) process 405 (FIG. 4) may be executed by an SSIA engine 175 when triggered. This process may be executed within the system 100 or by a remote system (i.e., the SSIA system 190). The SSIA engine 175 may include programming instructions that execute the steps of blocks 406, 408, 410 of FIG. 4 at runtime. 【0255】 Figure 1C shows a block diagram of a system 100 for creating at least one unpersonalized baggage manifest triggered by a non-terminal B-type message, according to one embodiment. The non-terminal B-type message may be received based on a baggage source indicator, multiple baggage source indicators, or all baggage source indicators. Since Figure 1C is similar to Figure 1A, only the differences will be described in detail. 【0256】 Non-terminating B-type message processing Figure 1C shows a non-terminated B-type message receiving unit 158'. As a non-limiting example, system 100 may include a programming module 149 that can be configured to receive B-type messages from airports and initiate sorting and matching of non-terminated B-type messages based on airport schedules and operating hours. As described in relation to Figure 10B, the first-mode mobile carrier 104 may be an air mobile carrier for flights originating from other countries. The receiving unit 158' may, at runtime, include programming instructions that cause the receiving unit to receive messages based on a baggage source indicator that indicates a non-terminated B-type message. The baggage source indicator will be described in more detail in relation to Figure 14. 【0257】 The description of “non-terminated Type B messages” applicable to airlines and airport infrastructure may, in one or more embodiments, have the non-terminated message receiver 158' overridden or controlled as an all-Type B message receiver. In this configuration, the Type B message receiver 158' may receive all Type B messages and sort all baggage items against the flight manifest for, for example, customs and / or security screening. 【0258】 When an airline departs from abroad and lands at an airport matching an airport code (for example, the first border crossing point), system 100 receives the entire flight manifest 151 and a non-terminated B-type message. The terminated B-type message is received and processed as shown in Figure 1A. Messages arriving at airports where customs security clearance is also required are matched by comparing the flight manifest with the IATA license plate number or passenger name in the sorted B-type message. Thus, when a match is detected and the IATA license plate is extracted from the non-terminated B-type message, a trigger is sent to the Security Screening Integration Assistance (SSIA) system 190 (Figure 16) via the Security Screening Trigger Generator 170. The trigger generator 170 may include programming instructions at runtime to send, for example, the IATA license plate and / or passenger name and / or PNR number associated with the baggage item to be screened to the SSIA system 190. 【0259】 A non-terminating Type B message may indicate that baggage items are being transferred between airlines. In this case, baggage items may need to 1) complete customs clearance procedures with customs authorities and 2) undergo re-screening by aviation security authorities in the crossing country. 【0260】 The Type B message processing module 160' can include programming instructions that cause the Type B message data extraction unit 168 to extract information from a non-terminated Type B message at runtime and send that data to the baggage item manifest record creation unit 185. 【0261】 As illustrated in Figure 1B, the first travel segment may have been by air. However, the baggage items may have been picked up from a train station, bus terminal, hotel, etc., by a System 100 employee or other baggage handler before being scanned to register their arrival at the accommodation in accordance with Manifest MX. At the accommodation, the baggage items begin their next travel segment, which may be a cruise ship or resort. With technological advancements, security screening imaging devices may be deployed at port facilities. Therefore, SSI and data may also be acquired by SS imaging devices located outside of airports. 【0262】 Route travel experience from the starting point 【0263】 Figure 1B shows a block diagram of a system 100 for checking in passenger baggage items on the return leg of a journey, according to one embodiment. In one or more embodiments, system 100 can also be used for checking in passengers on the return leg of a journey. Figure 1B shows an example of the movement route of baggage items along multiple travel segments toward accommodation or the next mode of transport. 【0264】 System 100 is shown between line A-A and line B-B. System 100 can communicate with the travel information system 108 of the first mode mobile carrier 104, the travel information system 110 of any intermediate mobile carrier 106, and / or the travel information system 128 of the accommodation 126. In embodiments disclosed herein, the accommodation 126 is a cruise ship. The travel information systems 108, 110, and 128 may include, for example, web-based servers connected to the Internet. One or more components of System 100 are located in proximity to the destination point DP107, which is also in proximity to the accommodation. In some embodiments, the accommodation 126 may be a resort or a hotel. 【0265】 The first mode mobile carrier 104 is either an airline carrier, a bus carrier, or a rail carrier. However, for the sake of explanation, the first mode mobile carrier will be described as an airline carrier in the example. Any intermediate mobile carrier 106 is either an airline carrier, a bus carrier, or a rail carrier. 【0266】 The travel route 140 (shown by a dashed line) shows the routes of travel segments L1, L2, and L3 from the starting point (i.e., home 102) to the accommodation 126 or boarding point via route L4. Segment L1 is the travel route from home 102 to the first-mode travel carrier 104. Segment L2 is the travel route using the first-mode travel carrier 104 to the destination point DP107, or to any segment L3 related to the intermediate travel carrier 106. Any segment L3 is the travel route using the intermediate travel carrier 106 to the destination point DP107. For example, the passenger may end their travel route at the end of segment L2, board a different travel carrier or flight, and begin travel to the destination point DP107 along segment L3. Furthermore, it should be noted that the travel route of segment L3 may include one or more intermediate travel carriers. In some cases, the passenger's itinerary may have zero (0) intermediate travel carriers. For example, this applies to direct or indirect itineraries following travel route 140 to destination DP. 【0267】 According to one or more embodiments, the system 100 can separate baggage from the passenger in other means of transport for checking in for the return flight within a limited check-in window, print and affix baggage tags for the return flight to the baggage, and hand over the baggage items under the control of the airline carrier. 【0268】 According to one or more embodiments, the system 100 can cause a printer associated with an airline carrier or a kiosk of an airline carrier to print return IATA-compatible baggage tags for return flights by the airline carrier. In some embodiments, the system 100 may include a printing device to print IATA baggage tags for return flights, replacing the departure hardcopy baggage tags with return IATA baggage tags. 【0269】 In one or more embodiments, the printed IATA baggage tag number on the return flight IATA baggage tag is recycled as a unique identifier for use in off-airport facilities and temporary accommodations during the return leg of the journey, after the baggage items have been unloaded from the airline carrier and recovered from the airline's infrastructure. The return flight IATA baggage tag functions as a machine-readable baggage tag that is not discarded at other means of transportation or accommodations (including temporary accommodations) after the return leg of the journey has been completed by the airline carrier. 【0270】 Destination point DP107 is located within the area of ​​the port of embarkation of accommodation 126. System 100 or one or more components of the system may be managed and operated by a third-party service provider independent of any mobile carrier. System 100 may be managed and operated by a mobile carrier located within the area of ​​destination point DP107. The mobile carrier located within the area of ​​destination DP107 may be an airline carrier, a rail carrier, a bus carrier, a cruise ship carrier, or a combination thereof. The acquisition devices disclosed herein may be distributed at off-airport facilities for locating and tracking baggage items in alternative means of transport, etc. 【0271】 In some cases, the route taken by the first mode mobile carrier and the route taken by the arbitrary intermediate mobile carrier 106 may be reversed. In this case, the route taken by the passenger in section L2 will be that of the intermediate mobile carrier 106, and the route taken by the passenger in section L3 to destination DP107 will be that of the first mode mobile carrier. 【0272】 The components of system 100 may include a scanner 116 that scans a baggage tag (BT) 142. The BT 142 is a paper baggage tag (OP - BT) of the place of departure, which has a baggage tag identifier (O - BTI) 114 of the place of departure issued from, for example, the first - mode mobile carrier 104 in the first movement section. The O - BTI 114 may be stored in a database by the first - mode mobile carrier 104. 【0273】 In one or more embodiments, a passenger having a mobile communication device 15 can capture an image of the BT 142. According to one example, the BT 142 may be printed at an airport kiosk and affixed to the baggage by the passenger. 【0274】 In one or more embodiments, the components of system 100 may also include a radio - frequency identification (RFID) reader or a near - field communication (NFC) identification reader. Both are referred to herein as RFID - R150 and are shown in a dashed - line box to indicate that they are optional. The RFID reader receives an electromagnetic field and automatically identifies and tracks tags. In some cases, the passenger baggage 138 may use an RFID tag or an NFC - compatible tag that generates a license plate or equivalent identifier. However, even currently, most baggage uses printed or paper tags as the main means of identifying the passenger baggage 138. 【0275】 In one or more embodiments, a baggage item may include a RF communication device (not shown). The radio - frequency (RF) communication device herein is, for example, any of a global positioning system (GPS) tracker, a global system for mobile communications (GSM) tracker, a GSM - 5G tracker, a WIFI - compatible communication device, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy (BLE) device, a Bluetooth - compatible communication device, a short - range RF communication device, and a long - range communication device that uses a compatible wireless communication protocol. 【0276】 The term passenger baggage 138 may include one or more baggage items. One or more baggage items may include the first baggage item. In some cases, it may be necessary to scan only BT142 of the first baggage item in order to digitally reproduce the passenger's baggage number (i.e., license plate number). 【0277】 The stored digital O-BTI may be converted to a format compatible with IATA baggage tag codes and other standardized formats of the carrier. For example, an airline's baggage tag may include an IATA code that includes a three-letter alphanumeric geographic code specifying the airport and metropolitan area. The IATA code is also known as the IATA Location Identifier. IATA also publishes industry standard rules for creating baggage tags for the aviation industry. A printed BT142 may include a 10-digit license plate and a corresponding barcode. The digital O-BTI may include IATA geographic code generation information, original flight information, a 10-digit license plate, and other BT information printed on the BT142. The BT142 can utilize license plates used by other mobile carriers. 【0278】 The components of system 100 may include an imaging device 118 for capturing an image of passenger baggage 138. The components of system 100 may include an optional printing device 120 configured to print a marker (MK) 136 onto a substrate. An exemplary marker 136 is described with reference to Figure 15. 【0279】 The components of system 100 may include a computing device 122, which will be described in more detail in relation to Figure 1B. The computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, the imaging device 118, and the printing device 120 via wireless communication, indicated by reference numeral 130. In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, the imaging device 118, and / or the printing device 120 using a wired communication protocol. The printing device 120 may be a laser printer, an inkjet printer, or other printing device. 【0280】 What should be understood from this disclosure is that the system addresses many possible outcomes that various passengers may experience. MK136 is needed because some baggage arriving at its destination may not have the originally printed baggage tag or airline marker (both potentially including IATA barcodes). In such situations, the system needs to prepare a marker for temporarily tagging the baggage. 【0281】 Furthermore, the MK136 may be used in one or more embodiments for baggage items passing through an integrated security screening station as shown in Figure 10A. 【0282】 This marker contains a 10-digit license plate number and other information. For example, it can be used by passengers to identify their luggage if it is lost. 【0283】 The system may include, by a printing device communicating with at least one processor, creating an MK136 with a marker identifier that links the baggage manifest record to the baggage item if the Origin Paper Baggage Tag Identifier (OP-BTI) associated with or printed on the baggage tag of the baggage item is damaged or lost, and entering the marker identifier into the baggage manifest record. The marker identifier is a barcode readable by a barcode scanner device and includes either the OP-BTI or a new tracking identifier. 【0284】 The computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, imaging device 118, and / or printing device 120 using the NFC protocol and the Bluetooth protocol. The computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, imaging device 118, and / or printing device 120 using wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) communication based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard. The computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, imaging device 118, and / or printing device 120 using, for example, ZIGBEE® wireless technology compatible with IEEE 802.15. The computing device 122 can communicate with the scanner 116, imaging device 118, and / or printing device 120 using long-range communication protocols, short-range communication protocols, cellular radio frequency protocols, and other mobile radio frequency protocols. 【0285】 In other embodiments, the scanner 116 may be a software application stored on the computing device 122, programmed to interact with a video device or camera device incorporated into, integrated with, or connected to the computing device 122 via a cable. In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122, the imaging device 118, and the scanner 116 are a single device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or other portable computing device with video capabilities, and are hereinafter referred to as the “smart communication device.” In one or more embodiments, the system 100 may include a local computing device or server 148 for communicating with the smart communication device and the travel information systems 108, 110, and / or 128. The local computing device (i.e., server 148) communicates with at least one smart communication device and / or the travel information systems 108, 110, and 128 using wired or wireless communication. 【0286】 In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122, imaging device 118, scanner 116, and RFID-R150 are a single device such as a smartphone, tablet, or other portable computing device with video capabilities, and are hereafter referred to as the “smart communication device”. 【0287】 The imaging device 118, scanner 116, and RFID-R150 may be electronic devices that acquire barcodes or other information related to IATA license plates, such as a 10-digit license plate. As should be understood from this disclosure, the IATA standard uses a 10-digit license plate, but other license plate formats with different numbers of digits are also usable. For example, a 10-digit license plate may be acquired by optical character recognition (OCR), a computer vision machine learning algorithm, or other artificial intelligence algorithms that can recognize alphanumeric characters and convert the recognized characters into machine-coded text. 【0288】 The components of System 100 may include an optional baggage receiving device 124 for transporting received baggage on a conveyor belt or the like. While the passenger baggage 138 moves on the conveyor belt, at least one scanner 116 and at least one imaging device 118 may scan or capture information representing O-BTI 114. In one or more embodiments, the imaging device 118 captures images of one or more pieces of passenger baggage 138. Furthermore, the RFD-R 150 may read RFD tags or NFC tags installed on the baggage receiving device 124. In one or more embodiments, the scanner 116 may scan QR code®-enabled baggage tags. RFID, NFC, and QR code-enabled baggage tags may contain certain personal information or PU. This passenger personal information and PNR 112 information are used for personal information verification. The RFID tags or NFC tags should be compatible with, for example, IATA RP1740c. PNR112 represents the storage location where an airline carrier stores a passenger's Passenger Number (PNR). PNR number 230 is also called the PNR locator. PNR data can be searched using at least PNR number 230 and can be found, for example, in certain baggage information messages, such as baggage source messages, as a non-limiting example. As a non-limiting example, PNR data may be stored in a Passenger Service System (PSS) or Order Management System (OMS). However, the location of the PNR data storage device may change over time. Therefore, the system uses and updates PNR access commands specific to each airline to determine how to reach PNR112. Communication exchanges may include Internet Protocol (IP), Extended Markup Language (XML) standards, and XML messaging. 【0289】 In other embodiments, the baggage claim device 124 includes a designated pad or surface for placing a single piece of passenger baggage 138, and is equipped with a scanner, an imaging device 118 and / or an RFID-R1503 near the pad that can scan the O-BTI 114 and / or capture an image of the passenger baggage 138. The scanner 116 and the imaging device 118 may be the same device and can be operated to search and scan a barcode with the O-BTI 114 in one process and to find a part or side of the body of the passenger baggage 138 and capture identifiable baggage features in a second optional process. The scanner 116, imaging device 118 and RFID-R150 can be integrated into the same device, and if a printed baggage tag is not present, the RFID-R150 reads an RFID tag or NFC tag and generates personal information for the manifest. 【0290】 In the process of capturing baggage identification features using methods such as computer vision, it may be determined that passenger baggage 138 does not have an original paper baggage tag. In this case, the information received from RFID-R150 is used. In some cases, passenger baggage 138 may have both an RFID tag or NFC tag and an original paper baggage tag. This is because the original paper baggage tag may contain information related to the mobile carrier on the return journey to home 102. 【0291】 In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122 and / or server 148 of system 100 may, when executed, generate a communication session with the travel information system 108 or 110 to access the PNR 112 based on the scanned BT 142 and obtain information representing the original O-BTI 114, including the embedded code of the passenger's baggage number, as described below. 【0292】 In one or more embodiments, the computing device 122 and / or server 148 of system 100 can establish a communication session with the travel information system 108 or 110 to access the PNR 112 based on images of BT 142 and obtain passenger information including at least the PNR number captured from BT 142. 【0293】 The travel information system 108 or 110 can generate communication with passenger file data 132 containing passenger return information while keeping personally identifiable information (PII) in the PNR confidential. The received passenger file data 132 is assembled into a manifest file 134 or sent to the travel information system 128 where the manifest file 134 is created. In some cases, the server 148 may create the manifest file. Either the computing device 122 and / or the server 148 transmits the manifest file to the travel information system 128 of the accommodation 126. The manifest file 134 is a depersonalized baggage manifest 121 1 , ..., 121 x It is different. 【0294】 The computing device 122 and / or server 148 may consolidate all passenger file data 132 into a single manifest file 134 for checked passenger baggage. The computing device 122 and / or server 148 then transmit the manifest file 134 to the travel information system 128 of the accommodation 126. 【0295】 A departure management system (DCS) may control the management of the airline's check-in process. A travel information system 108 or 110 may include a check-in indicator 144 that indicates whether those baggage items have been checked in for travel within a specific time window. In one or more embodiments, the travel carrier may include a check-in database 146 for those passengers and / or baggage that have been checked in for travel. 【0296】 In one or more embodiments, the baggage item 138 may be provided with a wireless tracking device 41 (Figure 2A). In a non-limiting example, the wireless tracking device 41 is a tracking device including an accelerometer (ACC), a gyroscope, a Global Positioning System (GPS) and / or an inertial navigation device (INU) that can determine its own position and transmit its position information to a computing device of system 100 (i.e., server 148). The wireless tracking device 41 has a unique identifier, such as a registration serial number, a Media Access Control (MAC) address, or other assigned unique identifier, which may be stored in the LIM record 186. 【0297】 The wireless tracking device 41 may be an Apple AIRTAG, a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) tracker, a GSM-5G tracker, a Wi-Fi enabled communication device, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device, a Bluetooth enabled communication device, a short-range RF communication device, or a long-range communication device using a compatible wireless communication protocol. 【0298】 In the case of short-range communication devices (including, but not limited to, Wi-Fi-enabled communication devices, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, and Bluetooth-enabled communication devices), system 100 may include a remote network device 127 within the accommodation facility 126. In one or more embodiments, the remote network device 127 belongs to the accommodation facility 126 and is used by system 100 to carry location data from the wireless tracking device 41. Alternatively or additionally, some of the remote network device 127 may be owned by system 100 and others by the accommodation facility 126. 【0299】 In one or more embodiments, the wireless tracking device 41 may be temporarily assigned to a baggage item. For example, the wireless tracking device 41 may be configured to communicate in a designated area D10, such as on a cruise ship, and in a surrounding area, such as a pier. For example, when the baggage item disembarks and is checked in for the return flight, or at some other point, the wireless tracking device 41 may be removed and reassigned to another piece of baggage for the cruise ship's next voyage. 【0300】 For example, the cruise ship area (i.e., designated area D10) may include the cruise ship itself and a radius of 100 feet around it. The cruise ship area (i.e., designated area D10) may be equipped with a receiver or network communication device for receiving signals from the radio tracking device 41. The diameter can be 10 to 50 feet, 10 to 75 feet, or 10 to 100 feet. The diameter around the cruise ship can be up to 200 feet, up to 300 feet, up to 500 feet, or up to 1000 feet. 【0301】 Long-range communication devices (including, but not limited to, Apple AIRTAG, GPS trackers, GSM trackers, and GSM-5G trackers) are capable of communicating with cellular carriers, satellite carriers, and GSM carriers. The position signal is transmitted to server 148 or other designated computing device for access to and / or storage of the LIM record 186. In one or more embodiments, the long-range communication device may also be configured to communicate using a short-range communication protocol. In this case, the wireless tracking device 41 may communicate in designated area D10 using a short-range communication protocol or a long-range communication protocol with a remote network device 127. 【0302】 Depending on the configuration of the wireless tracking device, the wireless tracking device 41 can be used to track its position while traveling by any means of transport or the next means of transport, using long-range or short-range communication. 【0303】 The system can obtain basic passenger information by scanning a barcode or QR code associated with the boarding pass for the departure flight. In some cases, the passenger's ticket may contain information associated with a 10-digit license plate, which can be obtained from the passenger and affixed to the baggage, eliminating the need to print the MK136. For example, a passenger may receive an adhesive-backed marker from airline staff when checking in their baggage at the airport. 【0304】 Example 1 An exemplary scenario is described in detail. A passenger, ready for travel, begins, for example, at their home 102, from which their passenger baggage 138 departs, and travels segment L1 of the travel itinerary 140. The passenger baggage 138 travels with the passenger or via baggage transport service to the airline transport carrier 104, where segment L2 of the travel begins. At the airline transport carrier 104, the passenger baggage 138 receives a BT142 as shown in Figure 2A. The BT142 contains printed information representing O-BTI114, which conforms to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) baggage tag format. The BT142 may be printed on paper or a paper composite at an airline counter by airline staff, baggage transport service, or by the passenger themselves using a kiosk. The BT142 remains attached to the passenger baggage 138 as it travels segment L3, as used as described below. In one or more embodiments, once the BT142 is printed, the passenger may capture at least one image of the BT142 and / or the printed medium, as described below, and transmit that at least one image to a computing device 122 or server 148. 【0305】 The passenger's travel itinerary includes accommodation 126. In this example, we assume that accommodation 126 is a cruise ship. In one or more embodiments, before the passenger boards the cruise (i.e., accommodation 126), a BT142 containing an O-BTI114 is scanned by a scanner 116, and the printed representation of the O-BTI114 is digitized, or the passenger's personal information printed on the BT142 is captured by an imaging device and digitized. The passenger's personal information may include a unique PNR number. The passenger's personal information may include the passenger's name. The passenger's personal information may include the O-BTI114 generated by optical character recognition in, for example, machine-encoded text format. 【0306】 In various scenarios, a passenger's travel itinerary may include travel segments L2 and L3. For example, if the airline is the only travel carrier, travel segment L3 is omitted. In this case, the airline travel carrier may provide direct flights to a city or destination near or within the vicinity of accommodation 126. In other examples, the passenger's travel route includes an intermediate travel carrier 106 and provides travel segment L3. For example, the passenger's travel route may include at least one connecting flight or segment to a city or destination close to accommodation 126. This connecting segment is shown as segment L3, starting from the end point of segment L2 and ending at destination DP107. 【0307】 Communication instructions may identify information related to tools (i.e., programming instructions) compatible with Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). 【0308】 In one or more embodiments, the server 148 and the travel information system 128 may be integrated into the same computing system. In other embodiments, the server 148 may be integrated into the travel information system 108 or 110. 【0309】 Figure 2A shows a block diagram of security tracking zone 37. An example of security tracking zone 37 is described in the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) "Planning Guidelines and Design Criteria for Checked Baggage Inspection Systems," version 8.0, Chapter 12, dated December 30, 2022. 【0310】 The security tracking zone 37 may include a baggage handling system 63. The baggage handling system 63 within the security tracking zone 37 may assign a unique tracking ID or pseudo-ID (hereinafter referred to as "PID") to each baggage item 138 entering the security tracking zone 37. The PID is used for positive baggage tracking as required by the TSA. Other screening authorities may employ different processes. Positive baggage tracking tracks the movement of baggage items within zone 37, for example. 【0311】 An automated tag reader 68 within the security tracking zone 37 is configured to read the barcode on the IATA license plate on the baggage tag or to receive an RFID signal from an RFID-compatible baggage tag. As part of the baggage handling system 63, the automated tag reader 68 associates and / or maintains the PID 204 and the IATA license plate number 202 for baggage items read in the security tracking zone 37. The barcode may be converted to a license plate number (i.e., baggage tag identifier or BTI). 【0312】 The PID is transmitted from the baggage handling system 63 to the SS imaging device 45 via the BHS device 67, where the PID becomes the primary ID. In systems with an automatic tag reader 68, the IATA license plate number (LPN) 202 is transmitted from the baggage handling system 63 to the SS imaging device 45. 【0313】 In one or more embodiments, the SS imaging device 45 may not accept both the PID and the IATA license plate number. In this example, the IATA license plate number is transmitted to the SS imaging device 45 as the primary ID. 【0314】 For example, if PID 204 is unavailable from the baggage handling system 63, the SS imaging device 45 may generate PID 204'. The SS imaging device 45 may include an image capture device 237 for capturing image data 210 (Figure 2B). The image capture device 237 will be described later. The SS imaging device 45 may generate metadata 208, such as a machine identifier (MID) 225. Other metadata 208 may include machine settings, timestamp, manufacturer, and location data. The machine identifier 225 may be used to determine whether the security screening images and data comply with standards required by a specific government agency in any country. 【0315】 Each BHS has machinery installed at the airport facility. Baggage items may be contained in a container 217 equipped with an RFID chip / transmitter 223 that can be received by an RFID receiver of the BHS at a particular airport. The container 217 moves along the BHS conveyor system. All BHS scanning and receiving activities may be tracked and stored by the BHS computer system, a computer system associated with the air transport carrier, or other designated computer system. For example, information associated with baggage items transported by aircraft is stored and accessible by a computer system associated with the air transport carrier or other designated computer system, regardless of which BHS scanned or received the RFID signal of the baggage item. 【0316】 In one or more embodiments, the PID may include a sequence of RFIDs generated by the RFID chip / transmitter 223. In one or more embodiments, the PID may be encoded with a sequence of RFIDs or a portion thereof received from the RFID chip / transmitter 223. 【0317】 The new PID 204” may be an encoded PID, for example, including a PID generated by BHS 63 and a sequence or portion of the RFID from container 217. The security tracking zone may contain one or more BHS devices, including RFID readers that receive RFID from containers and read the IATA license plate number, or receive signals containing RFID representing the IATA license plate number. In one or more embodiments, the RFID of the container may be obtained from a Type B message using the IATA license plate number. In one or more embodiments, the RFID of the container may be transmitted to SS imaging devices 45, 50. The stored SSI and data 113 may include the RFID of the container. 【0318】 In this specification, the term PID refers to both a pseudo-identity and / or a primary identity for security screening purposes. 【0319】 Figure 2B shows a block diagram of a secure cloud data storage 201 for security screening images and data 113 generated in the security tracking zone 37, according to one embodiment. At each airport, security screening of checked baggage items may be performed by multiple SS imaging devices 45, 50. The SS imaging devices 45, 50 within the airport may be from the same manufacturer or from different manufacturers. In this case, appropriate viewing software is required for a workstation to display the images. Maintaining and deploying security screening images captured by any of the multiple SS imaging devices 45, 50 domestically or globally for sharing can be very expensive. Each baggage item may pass through a corresponding SS imaging device, and the contents within the spatial volume of the baggage item may be captured. 【0320】 In one or more embodiments, access to the secure cloud data storage 201 is restricted. In some embodiments, the data stored in the storage 201 may be encrypted. 【0321】 Each SS imaging device 45, 50 may upload the LPN 202, PID 204 (or PID 204'), and the SSI file name 206 tagged with the security screening image (SSI) and data 113 to a secure cloud system 201. The SSI file name 206 may be associated with the security screening image and data 113 of the contents within the spatial volume of the baggage item associated with the LPN 202 and PID 204. The SS imaging devices 45, 50 may include metadata 208 containing the SSI file name 206. The metadata 208 may include, for example, a machine identifier (MID) 225. The machine identifier 225 may be a manufacturer's serial number or product identifier. The machine identifier 225 may be a digital identifier. 【0322】 Metadata 208 may include an Internet Protocol (IP) address, network address, private IP address, local area network (LAN) address, etc. Metadata 208 may also include a timestamp. Image data 210 is stored by an SSI file name 206 and is accessible by, for example, PID 204 or PID 204', or SSI file name 206. Image data 210 may include, for example, tomographic image data. 【0323】 Figure 2C shows a block diagram of a data conversion unit 250 that converts security screening images and data 113 from a security tracking zone according to one embodiment. The LIM record depersonalization processing unit 188 may include a data conversion unit 250 for concealing the original PID 204 or 204'. The data conversion unit 250 may include programming instructions that cause the PID reassignment unit to reassign PID 204” at runtime. The PID reassignment unit links the original PID 204 or 204' to the new PID 204” and stores PID 204 or 204' and 204” and LPN 202 in the secure database 232 as entry 234. Entry 234 can delete itself after a predetermined time has elapsed or after the flight has passed all potential screenings in the cross-border country. In this specification, PID 204, 204' and 204” may be referred to as primary identifiers based on pseudo-identifiers created in the secure tracking zone to ensure tracking of baggage items undergoing security screening (i.e., explosive detection) for air travel. 【0324】 The data conversion unit 250 may include a programming instruction that triggers the encoding of the SSI file name 206 by the file name encoding unit 270 at runtime and generates a file name of the SSI file name 206'. The file name encoding unit 270 may include a programming instruction that executes the method 800 shown in Figure 8 at runtime. Alternatively, the file name encoding unit 270 may include a programming instruction that encodes the SSI file name 206 by generating a sequence of numbers for assigning a file name to the memory location indicated as SSI file name 206' at runtime. 【0325】 The LIM record depersonalization processing unit 188 may include programming instructions to generate security screening images and data 113' in a secure database 213 at runtime. Database 213 may be separate from the secure database 232. The security screening images and data 113' may link together the PID 204', the encoded SSI file name 206' of the image data 210, and the image data 210. The security screening images and data 113' may include metadata 208. 【0326】 Figure 3A shows a block diagram of a virtual security screening image sharing system 300A (hereinafter referred to as "image sharing system 300A") according to one embodiment. The image sharing system 300A may include a secure cloud computing system 310. The secure cloud computing system 310 can be provided through on-premise or remote services, such as a "cloud" environment provided by vendors operating under brand names such as MICROSOFT AZURE, AMAZON WEB SERVICES, RACKSPACE, and KAMATERA. 【0327】 The secure cloud computing system 310 can communicate with the secure cloud system 301. The secure cloud computing system 310 and the secure cloud system 301 may be the same system. The secure cloud system 301 may perform activities such as those of the SSIA engine 175. The secure cloud system 301 may include a metadata analysis unit 303. The metadata analysis unit 303 may include programming instructions that analyze metadata 208 relating to the manufacturer or model of the SS imaging devices 45, 50 at runtime to determine which countries (CCs) permit the use of image data 210 from the devices 45, 50 for customs analysis and / or security analysis. The countries (CCs) may base their decision on the terminal airport code (AC) or forwarding airport code (AC) in the Type B message. Each country may determine whether the image data 210 from a particular device 45, 50 is acceptable. In other embodiments, a lookup table of cooperating airports can be used instead of analyzing the metadata 208. For example, the airport code (AC) in a Type B message associated with a baggage source indicator may indicate whether a cross-border airport allows the sharing of image data 210 for customs clearance or security screening by customs authorities when transferring baggage items to another airline within that country. A lookup table may indicate a cooperating airport via the airport code. If airports are not affiliated, the image data will not be shared. 【0328】 In one or more embodiments, the image data 210 generated by the devices 45, 50 may be acceptable for customs screening but not for air screening when transferring baggage items to another air carrier within the same country. In one or more embodiments, in certain countries, the image data 210 generated by the devices 45, 50 may be acceptable for both customs screening and air screening when transferring baggage items to another air carrier within the same country. 【0329】 The programming instructions for the secure cloud computing system 310 may include programming instructions that provide virtual machines 330 at runtime. For example, virtual machine 330 may include virtual machines 332, 334, 336, and 338. Each virtual machine may have a corresponding SSI viewing application, or one or more SSI viewing applications may be shared. For example, virtual machine 332 may include SSI viewing application 342. Virtual machine 334 may include SSI viewing application 344. Virtual machine 336 may include SSI viewing application 346. Virtual machine 338 may include SSI viewing application 348. The SSI viewing applications may be compatible to display captured SSIs and data associated with the corresponding S imaging device. 【0330】 This disclosure refers to four virtual machines, 332, 334, 336, and 338, but any number of virtual machines can be used to accommodate the volume of baggage items that need to be processed on a daily basis. 【0331】 As an example, programming instructions for a secure cloud computing system 310 may include programming instructions that provide a depersonalized shared file data library 312A at runtime. The depersonalized shared file data library 312A is accessible from the virtual machine 332 and the SSI browsing application 342. As a non-limiting example, the depersonalized shared file data library 312 may include multiple virtual memory locations 314 for storing uploaded SSIs and data tagged with PID 204, 204' or 204'', as well as SSI file names 206 or 206'. Uploaded SSIs and data may be tagged with other identifiers, such as flight numbers and / or unique tracking device identifiers. 【0332】 For example, programming instructions for a secure cloud computing system 310 may include programming instructions that provide multiple depersonalized shared file data libraries 312A and 312B at runtime. Each library may be configured per airline, per country, or per different SS imaging device. Virtual memory may be partitioned by country, SS imaging device, or other criteria. 【0333】 Depending on the security screening zone 37, the SS imaging devices 45 and 50 may be the same model from the same manufacturer at a particular airport. In this case, the SSI viewing application 342 can view the SSIs of baggage items on board aircraft departing from that airport and scheduled to arrive at a cross-border airport. For example, communication 302 to SS computer station 372 (i.e., SS computer station 1072A) may include depersonalized file sharing data 306A associated with the LIM record data for baggage items having the SSI and data 113 captured by SS imaging device 45. Depersonalized file sharing data 306B is associated with the LIM record data 186 for baggage items having the SSI and data 113 captured by SS imaging device 50. SS imaging device 50 may be different from SS imaging device 45. The SSI associated with the depersonalized file sharing data 306A from SS imaging device 45 may require the SSI viewing application 342 to display the image data on a display screen. SSI associated with depersonalized file sharing data 306B from the SS imaging device 50 may require an SSI viewing application 344 to display the image data on a display screen. 【0334】 Depersonalized file-sharing data 306A or 306B will be described with reference to Figures 9A and 9B. Communication 302 may include links to or access to assigned virtual machines 332, 334, 336, or 338 used by each SS computer station 372. 【0335】 In one or more embodiments, each SS computer station 372 may be assigned a dedicated virtual machine. However, the secure cloud computing system 310 may include virtual memory for storing libraries of SSI browsing applications 342, 344, 346, and 348 that can be individually uploaded to the virtual machines as needed for browsing SSIs with compatible browsing applications. 【0336】 As a non-limiting example, communication 302 may, for example, access a depersonalized baggage manifest 321 (i.e., depersonalized baggage manifest 121) for multiple different baggage items that have an SSI that requires viewing by an SSI viewing application 342 provided under depersonalized file sharing data 306A. 1 , ..., 121 x ) may include multiple depersonalized LIM records. Communication 302 may include multiple depersonalized LIM records for multiple different baggage items that have SSIs that need to be viewed by an SSI viewing application 344 provided under depersonalized file sharing data 306B. 【0337】 In one or more embodiments, the first communication 302 to the SS computer station 372 is, for example, an unpersonalized baggage manifest 321 for several different baggage items having an SSI that requires viewing by an SS browsing application 342 provided under unpersonalized file sharing data 306A (i.e., an unpersonalized baggage manifest 121 1 , ..., 121 x ) may include. 【0338】 A second communication 302 to another SS computer station provides, for example, an unpersonalized baggage manifest 321 (i.e., an unpersonalized baggage manifest 121) for multiple different baggage items having SSIs that require viewing by an SSI viewing application 344 provided under unpersonalized file sharing data 306B. 1 , ..., 121 x You may receive ) 【0339】 Customs authorities may have multiple staffed SS computer stations. Each station may receive different baggage item lists in depersonalized baggage manifests for screening in accordance with customs rules and regulations. These baggage items may be identified from the flight manifest. 【0340】 In one or more embodiments, a portion of the security screening images and data 113 stored in the secure cloud system 301 may be transferred to one of the virtual memories 314. For example, the first virtual memory 314 may store security screening images and data 113' for baggage items on a flight that may require screening by customs authorities. The security screening images and data 113' may include PID 204, PID 204' or 204”, SSI file name 206 or 206', and image data captured by the image capture device 237. The security screening images and data 113' may include MID 225 or other metadata 208. However, the security screening images and data 113' may not include PII. Another virtual memory 314 may store security screening images and data 113' for baggage items on another flight that may require screening by customs authorities in a different cross-border country or in the same cross-border country. 【0341】 Image data may be subject to specific copyrights. As a non-limiting example, programming instructions for a secure cloud computing system 310 may include a controlled browsing agent 320. Programming instructions for the controlled browsing agent 320 grant, at runtime, a single browsing of the SSI and data 113' in accordance with a set of permissions 327. System 100, the government, or other parties may have contractual agreements with the manufacturers of the SS imaging devices 45, 50 to pay compensation for browsing copyrighted data or otherwise control browsing of copyrighted data. For example, permission set 327 authorizes a single browsing or access to the SSI and data 113' stored in virtual memory 314. Permission set 327 may include time limits. For example, a browsing window may be used for files of baggage items on a flight schedule landing at a cross-border airport, and this browsing window is set for the time frame during which the baggage items for that flight are cleared. 【0342】 The programming instructions for the single-view processing agent 320 may, at runtime, execute an image erasure process 325 that erases the SSI and data 113' from the virtual memory 314 and the secure cloud computing system 310 after a single view, time frame, or other criterion. 【0343】 Virtual memory is described in both software and hardware terms. Process 325 clears, cleans up, or otherwise deletes the stored SSI and data 113' after the criteria of privilege set 327 are met, thereby making them unobtainable for further viewing by SSI browsing applications. Cleaning up or clearing memory files can be done using commercially available products. 【0344】 In one or more embodiments, the stored data itself may be tagged for one-time access. 【0345】 Figure 3B shows a block diagram of a virtual security screening image sharing system 300B (hereinafter referred to as "image sharing system 300B") according to one embodiment. Image sharing system 300B is the same as image sharing system 300A. Therefore, only the differences will be explained. As an example, programming instructions for the secure cloud computing system 310' may include programming instructions that access virtual memory 314' in the secure cloud system 301 at runtime. Virtual memory 314' can store security screening images and data 113', as described in relation to Figure 3A. During operation, the virtual machine 330 may access the security screening images and data 113' stored in virtual memory 314'. 【0346】 Figure 3C shows a block diagram of a virtual security screening image sharing system 300C (hereinafter referred to as "image sharing system 300C") that uses a content list (CL) according to one embodiment. Figure 3C has similarities to Figures 3A and 3B. Therefore, only the differences will be explained. 【0347】 The programming instructions for the secure cloud computing system 310” may include programming instructions that provide virtual machines 330’ at runtime. For example, virtual machine 330’ may include virtual machines 332’, 334’, 336’, and 338’. Each virtual machine may have corresponding customs screening units 352, 354, 356, and 358. Customs screening unit 356 will be described as an example. 【0348】 The customs screening unit 356 may include an artificial intelligence (AI) customs screening model 370. When executed, the AI ​​customs screening model 370 screens a received content list, which is unfolded from the contents within the spatial volume of the baggage item, and determines whether the baggage item can pass through customs without further inspection or check by the customs authorities of the crossing country. 【0349】 The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, trigger the reception of customs list 373 and / or country code (CC) 374, because each country may have its own training dataset for customs clearance of baggage items through the artificial intelligence (AI) customs authority screening process. The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may also include programming instructions that, when executed, trigger the reception of threshold 378. As a non-limiting example, certain products or goods, such as currency, may have quantity restrictions on which they can be brought into a country. 【0350】 The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause it to receive the regulated items list 376A and / or the prohibited items list 376B, thereby training the model 370. In a non-limiting example, customs authorities may restrict or prohibit the import of certain products, articles, animals, or objects into the country. In a non-limiting example, certain medicines, chemicals, agricultural products (such as seeds), animals, etc., may be prohibited in one country but permitted in another. 【0351】 The country code (CC) 374 may be determined by the airport code. The country code may be estimated from the airport code based on a lookup table that maps country codes to airport codes. 【0352】 The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, generate result 380. In a non-limiting example, result 380 may indicate that customs clearance will be granted without additional review or inspection by customs authorities in the cross-border country. In a non-limiting example, result 380 may indicate that customs clearance will not be granted, which may mean that additional review or inspection by customs authorities in the cross-border country may be required. 【0353】 The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, cause the model 370 to receive an exception 382 and train. As a non-limiting example, a particular manufacturer's mobile phone (i.e., an object) may be prohibited in a particular country. Regulated objects are restricted based on import quantities (i.e., thresholds) and / or specific manufacturers or models (i.e., exceptions). As new rules and regulations change in each country, specific training data may be used to train the model in real time. 【0354】 The AI ​​customs screening model 370 may include programming instructions that, when executed, employ machine learning (ML) or artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. ML / AI algorithms may include neural networks, Bayesian networks, tree-based models, supervised learning algorithms, and reinforcement learning algorithms. 【0355】 It will be understood that it is not practical to describe all the targets, exceptions, and thresholds for each country. 【0356】 The image sharing system 300C may include a bank of AI content list generation units 360. The AI ​​content list generation unit 360 may include AI content list generation units 362, 364, 366, and 368. Each AI content list generation unit 362, 364, 366, and 368 may include an AI model 369 trained to generate a content list 373 based on SSI and data 113 captured by a specific SS imaging device 45 or 50. The content list 373 may be stored in memory, such as virtual memory, for access by a virtual machine 330'. In one or more embodiments, the content list 373 may be transmitted to a virtual machine according to the flight landing schedule. For example, an SS computer station 372 may review the content list before an airline lands at a cross-border airport. In this case, the baggage handling system may be programmed with information about baggage items that require screening by customs authorities, thereby accelerating the processing of baggage items on the flight manifest. 【0357】 Although only two SS imaging devices, 45 and 50, are mentioned, airports worldwide may have any number of SS imaging devices, varying from country to country. The AI ​​model 369 can receive training data for different models of SS imaging devices from the same manufacturer, such as during repairs, replacements, or upgrades. The content list 373 may be accessed, for example, by the SS computer station 372 via depersonalized file sharing data 306A or 306B. The AI ​​content list generation unit 364 generates a list of content that is prohibited or restricted from being brought into the country, within the spatial volume of the baggage item. The content list may include combinations of components or materials that, when combined, could create dangerous goods that are prohibited or restricted in the country. 【0358】 Virtual memory 314' can store security screening images and data 113. As a non-limiting example, security screening images and data 113 stored in virtual memory 314'' from SS imaging device 45 may be transmitted to AI content list generation unit 362. However, security screening images and data 113 stored in virtual memory 314'' from SS imaging device 50 may be transmitted to AI content list generation unit 364. 【0359】 As an example, the memory device may store the content list 373. In one or more embodiments, instead of the content list 373, a content list identifier or content list locator may be stored in memory. The content list identifier or content list locator can identify the location of a content list in a content list database. The content list 373 may also be used for different mobile vehicles. 【0360】 The system can use a search algorithm to search a content list for prohibited items in a vehicle associated with a second mode of transportation. 【0361】 The methods disclosed below illustrate a specific sequence of operations. This sequence may be modified without departing from the scope of this disclosure. For example, some of the operations shown may be performed in parallel or in different sequences in a manner that does not substantially affect the functionality of the method. In other examples, different components of an exemplary apparatus or system implementing the method may perform functions substantially simultaneously or in a specific order. One or more actions, blocks, or events may be omitted in one or more sequences. 【0362】 In one or more embodiments, an AI-generated list of contents within the spatial volume of a baggage item is used to identify lost or mishandled baggage based on the identifiable contents from the content list. PID 204, 204', or 204” may be used to work backward (estimate) the license plate number 202. The passenger's name can be identified from the license plate number 202, and the passenger can be paired with the baggage item. 【0363】 The content list can be based on three-dimensional (3D) tomography data or other X-ray data. 3D data is generated by a CT scanner. 【0364】 Figure 4 shows a flowchart of a method 400 for obtaining and transmitting depersonalized security screening images for use by customs authorities, according to one embodiment. 【0365】 Method 400 may include, in block 402, obtaining the International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number of a passenger's checked baggage item by at least one of the system's processors. Obtaining the IATA license plate number may include, by at least one of the system's processors, receiving a Type B message generated by a computer system associated with an air carrier in the country of departure or the country of crossing the border. The processor that obtains the license plate number of a passenger's checked baggage item can be described in reference to Figure 5A or Figure 5B. 【0366】 Method 400 may include, in block 404, at least one of the at least one processors querying a database based on the acquired IATA license plate number to retrieve a primary identifier (PID) associated with information related to security screening images (SSIs) or content lists (CLs) derived from SSIs of contents within the spatial volume of checked baggage items. 【0367】 In one or more embodiments, the PID is generated by either a baggage handling system 63 that transports baggage items to security screening imaging devices 45, 50 that capture SSI in the country of departure, or by the security screening imaging device. In one or more embodiments, a PID (i.e., PID 204") may be linked to a PID (i.e., PID 204 or 204') generated by the baggage handling system 63 or the security screening imaging devices 45, 50. 【0368】 Method 400 includes, in block 405, a Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) process 405, which depersonalizes security screening image file data and shares it with other authorities, including authorities worldwide. The Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) process 405 includes blocks 406, 408, and 410, which are described below. 【0369】 Process 405 of Method 400 may include, in block 406, depersonalizing security screening image (SSI) file sharing data by at least one processor. This data includes PIDs 204, 204', or 204'' and hyperlinks to a database or secondary shared memory location for accessing the SSI or CL. 【0370】 Figure 9A shows a block diagram of a list 950 of depersonalized security screening image (SSI) file sharing data according to one embodiment. This list includes, for example, depersonalized baggage manifests 121 associated with flight manifests. 1 The list of depersonalized security screening image (SSI) file sharing data 950 may include depersonalized file sharing data 306A or 306B (Figures 3A to 3C). 【0371】 As an example, depersonalized SSI file sharing data may include a pseudo-identifier (PID) 204” with an embedded hyperlink 954 to an SSI or another designated access memory location in the database. The PID 204” is transmitted to a customs authority workstation (such as the SS computer station 372 in Figure 3A) and displayed on the screen of a display device as a hyperlink or text (numeric, alphabetic, or alphanumeric) with a hypertext protocol. Selecting the hyperlink 954 may cause an application or browser installed on the workstation to navigate to one of the virtual machines 330 and access the SSI file associated with the PID. 【0372】 Figure 9B shows a block diagram of another List 950' of depersonalized security screening image (SSI) file sharing data according to one embodiment. List 950' is, for example, a depersonalized baggage manifest 121 associated with a flight manifest. 1 The list of depersonalized security screening image (SSI) file-sharing data 950' may include depersonalized file-sharing data 306A or 306B (Figures 3A to 3C). 【0373】 As an example, depersonalized SSI file sharing data may include a pseudo-identifier (PID) 204" and an SSI file name, where the SSI file name 206 or 206' has an embedded link 954' to a database or another designated access memory location. The depersonalized SSI file sharing data is transmitted to a customs authority workstation (i.e., the SS computer station 372 in Figure 3A) and displayed on the screen of a display device as text (numeric, alphabetic, or alphanumeric) with hyperlinks or hypertext protocols. When the text associated with the hyperlink or hypertext is selected using a user interface such as a mouse, pen, or touchscreen, a browser or application on the workstation automatically navigates to one of the virtual machines 330 and accesses the corresponding file in the database or another designated access memory location. As an example, the customs authority workstation may have software for viewing SSIs. In this example, the workstation is equipped with an application capable of displaying SSIs on its display device. 【0374】 For example, when text associated with a hyperlink or hypertext is selected using a user interface such as a mouse, pen, or touchscreen, a browser or application on the SS computer station 372, as shown in Figure 3A, will automatically navigate to a virtual machine or hypervisor, enabling the download and / or display of the SSI. 【0375】 In view of the disclosures herein, it is also possible to access the SSI and related data from the SS computer station 372 in Figure 3A using other hyperlinks. 【0376】 Process 405 of Method 400 may include, in block 408, assembling a communication package containing SSI file sharing data by at least one processor. This communication package does not contain passenger personal identification information. The assembly in block 408 may include incorporating a flight number into the depersonalized SSI file sharing data. The assembly in block 408 may include incorporating metadata 208 into the depersonalized SSI file sharing data. 【0377】 Process 405 of Method 400 may include, in block 410, transmitting the assembled communications package to an approved computer workstation associated with a cross-border country by at least one of the at least one processors. 【0378】 Method 400 may include repeating blocks 402 through 410 for all IATA number plate numbers in the license plate list associated with the flight in block 412. At the end of block 412, a list as shown in Figure 9A or 9B may be generated. However, based on the MID data, the list can be parsed by having the SS computer station 372 in Figure 3A receive the PID associated with the imaging device 45, and another station receive the PID of the imaging device 50. 【0379】 In some embodiments, the order of blocks 410 and 412 can be reversed. Therefore, within the block of process 405, block 410 is indicated by a dashed frame. 【0380】 Method 400 may include initiating a security / customs screening process for baggage items in block 414. For example, in a non-limiting example, one of the virtual machines 330 may need to be assigned to a customs authority workstation (SS computer station 372 in Figure 3A). In another example, the virtual machines 330 are assigned based on a flight schedule. In yet another example, a content list 373 is sent to the assigned virtual machine 330 and the security / customs screening process is initiated. 【0381】 In some cases, the crossing country may use a content list for additional screening of air travel, such as when baggage items are being transferred to another airline. In such cases, baggage items may be able to bypass imaging by SS imaging devices at the crossing airport. 【0382】 In one or more embodiments, the security / customs screening process may be fully automated based on an AI engine in the first stage of assessment. In the second stage of assessment, human intervention may be required as needed to inspect baggage items. 【0383】 The steps in block 402 will be explained in relation to the examples in Figures 5A and 5B. 【0384】 Figure 5A shows a flowchart of a method 500A for identifying baggage items that are connecting or terminating at a cross-border airport based on flight number or airport code, according to one embodiment. 【0385】 Method 500A may include, in block 502A, having at least one processor of the system receive a number of Type B messages from a computer system associated with an airline carrier or other designated computer system. The Type B messages may be generated by a computer system associated with an airline carrier in the country of departure of the flight or the cross-border country to which the flight lands. 【0386】 In one or more embodiments, the Type B message may be either a forwarded baggage source message or a terminal baggage source message. 【0387】 Method 500A may include sorting a plurality of Type B messages in block 504A by at least one of the at least one processors based on at least one of the baggage source indicators set to either an airport code, a flight number, or forwarding or termination. 【0388】 Method 500A may include, in block 506A, identifying all IATA license plate numbers associated with a flight number by at least one of the at least one processors. 【0389】 Method 500A may include, in block 508A, generating a list of license plate numbers for all IATA license plate numbers associated with the flight number by at least one of the at least one processors. 【0390】 Method 500A may include, in block 510A, at least one of the at least one processors selecting a corresponding IATA license plate number in order to obtain an IATA license plate number from a list of license plate numbers. 【0391】 Figure 5B shows a flowchart of a method 500B for identifying baggage items transiting or terminating at a cross-border airport based on a flight number, airport code, or / or passenger list (or flight manifest), according to one embodiment. 【0392】 Method 500B may include, in block 501B, receiving a flight manifest generated by a computer system associated with an airline landing at an airport in a cross-border country by at least one of the system's processors. The flight manifest may include a list of passenger names associated with a flight number. The flight manifest may include a list of passenger names and license plate numbers. 【0393】 Method 500B may include, in block 502B, receiving a plurality of Type B messages from a computer system associated with an airline carrier by at least one of the at least one processors. The Type B messages are generated by a computer system associated with an airline carrier in the country of departure of the flight or the cross-border country to which the flight lands. 【0394】 In one or more embodiments, a Type B message may be either a transfer baggage source message or a termination baggage source message. A baggage source message may include a baggage source indicator that the message is either a transfer baggage source message or a termination baggage source message. The baggage source message may include an airport code associated with the baggage source indicator that can identify the airport to which the baggage items will transfer or terminate when they land and are unloaded from the current airline. 【0395】 Method 500B may include sorting of multiple Type B messages in block 504B by at least one of the at least one processors based on at least two of the following: an airport code, a flight number, a passenger name from a passenger name list, or a baggage source indicator set to either forward or terminate. The passenger name list may be a flight manifest associated with a flight number. 【0396】 Method 500B may include, in block 506B, identifying all IATA license plate numbers associated with the passenger name list by at least one of the at least one processors. 【0397】 Method 500B may include, in block 508B, generating a list of all IATA number plate numbers associated with a passenger name list or flight manifest by at least one of the at least one processors. 【0398】 Method 500B may include, in block 510B, at least one of the at least one processors selecting a corresponding IATA license plate number in order to obtain an IATA license plate number from a list of license plate numbers. 【0399】 Figure 6 shows a flowchart of a method 600 according to one embodiment for identifying baggage items that require re-screening for transfer to a second air carrier. Method 600 may include, in block 602, determining by at least one of the system's at least one processor whether the checked baggage items will be transiting a carrier at a border in a transit country (e.g., a cross-border airport). 【0400】 Method 600 may include, in block 602, identifying the passenger associated with each IATA license plate number by at least one of the system's processors. Method 600 may also include, in block 604, obtaining the personal identification information of the passenger associated with each IATA license plate number by at least one of the system's processors. As a non-limiting example, the personal identification information may be identified from PNR data stored in PNR112 (Figure 1B). PNR data may be obtained by extracting PNR numbers from Type B messages, such as baggage source messages as described in Figure 14. 【0401】 Method 600 may include, in block 606, assembling a (second) communications package containing SSI file sharing data and passenger personal identification information by at least one of the system's processors. Method 600 may also include, in block 608, transmitting the assembled (second) communications package to a second authorized computer workstation associated with a transit country before the baggage item is loaded onto a connecting flight. 【0402】 Method 600 may include, in block 610, repeating blocks 601 to 608 for each baggage item identified in the flight manifest as connecting to another flight by at least one of the system's processors. The order of 608 and 610 may vary. 【0403】 Method 600 may include initiating a security screening process for baggage items in block 612. For example, in a non-limiting example, one of the virtual machines 330 may need to be assigned to a customs authority workstation (i.e., SS computer station 372 in Figure 3A). In another example, the virtual machines 330 may be assigned based on a flight schedule. In yet another example, a content list 373 is sent to the assigned virtual machine 330 to initiate the security / customs screening process. 【0404】 In one or more embodiments, the SSI file name can be an encoded SSI file name 206' without the need to separately transmit the passenger's personal identification information. 【0405】 Figure 7 shows a flowchart of a method 700 for tracking a baggage item using a PID loaded into a tracking device 41, according to one embodiment. Details of the tracking device 41 are shown in Figure 12A. In block 702, the method 700 may include associating a unique tracking device identifier with the tracking device 41 by at least one of the system's processors. Method 700 may include, in block 704, uploading the PID 204, 204', or 204” of the baggage item to a tracking device 41 attached to or associated with the baggage item by at least one of the system's processors. Method 700 may include, in block 706, linking the PID of the baggage item to a unique tracking device identifier by at least one of the system's processors. Method 700 may include, in block 708, storing the PID of the baggage item together with the unique tracking device identifier in a secure database by at least one of the system's processors. Method 700 may include, in block 710, identifying whether the checked baggage item is terminating at a cross-border airport the mobile carrier used to arrive at the border. 【0406】 Method 700 may include, in block 712, tracking a baggage item using a PID loaded into a tracking device 41 outside the airport infrastructure when the baggage item is transferred to a second means of transport by at least one of the processors in the system. 【0407】 Figure 8 shows a flowchart of a method 800 for converting a security screening image file name to an encoded security screening image file name 206' according to one embodiment. 【0408】 Method 800 may include, in block 802, at least one of the system's processors identifying a passenger associated with a corresponding IATA license plate number from a Type B message. The passenger may be identified by the passenger name and / or passenger name record (PNR) number contained in the Type B message (e.g., BSM). 【0409】 Method 800 may include, in block 804, obtaining a PNR number by at least one of the system's at least one processor. Method 800 may include, in block 806, obtaining personal identification information (PII) from PNR112 (Figure 1B) or another storage device having personal identification information (PII) associated with a passenger name or PNR number by at least one of the system's at least one processor. Method 800 may include, in block 808, encoding an SSI file name with PII by at least one of the system's at least one processor. 【0410】 The PII may include the passenger's date of birth, and part of the file name may include a sequence of numbers representing the date of birth. For example, the PII may include the passport number, and part of the file name may include a sequence of numbers representing all or part of the passport number. For example, the PII may include the social security number, and part of the file name may include a sequence of numbers representing all or part of the social security number or government-issued identification number. For example, the PII may include a unique identifier, and part of the file name may include a sequence of numbers representing all or part of the unique identifier. For example, the PII may include the driver's license number, and part of the file name may include a sequence of numbers representing all or part of the driver's license number. 【0411】 The programming instructions triggered at runtime to encode an SSI file name may include generating an SSI file name containing the date of birth or a portion thereof. The programming instructions triggered at runtime to encode an SSI file name may also include generating an SSI file name containing a portion of the passenger's social security number, for example, the last four digits. In another example, the encoding may include all digits of the PII. The encoding may transpose the digits in a different order to conceal the PII. 【0412】 In one or more embodiments, a passenger may register for the service after obtaining approval or permission from a foreign government to provide their date of birth. 【0413】 Integrated Security Screening Process Figure 10A shows a file processing method 1000A in an integrated security screening process for baggage items that need to pass through a security screening station, according to one embodiment. The integrated security screening station (ISSS) 1070 may include, for example, government agencies such as CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection), Coast Guard, TSA (Transportation Security Administration), and customs at border checkpoints such as airports, railways, buses, and docks, as well as private security screening agencies for cruise ships and private security screening agencies for hotels. 【0414】 The processes disclosed herein enable the transfer of security images and data 113' between government agencies, between companies, and between governments and companies without transmitting personally identifiable information (PII) data, for example by using Type B messages, IATA license plates and / or PNR numbers. 【0415】 Method 1000A may include, in block 1002, a trigger being received by the processor. The trigger may be received from the security screening trigger generation unit 170. The trigger may be based on information from the airline flight manifest of passengers / baggage items disembarking from an air mobile carrier. For example, on international flights, all passengers / baggage items may be required to be processed by ISSS 1070, such as CBP or other customs authorities. The trigger may be based on information from the cruise ship manifest of passengers disembarking from a cruise ship mobile carrier. The trigger may be based on cases where a designated border control government agency requires security screening of baggage items for crossing a border when a mobile carrier crosses a border. Passengers may board a train and baggage items checked in under security protocols may enter another country. An example of a system utilizing different security protocols is described in U.S. Patent No. 10,366,293, “Computer System and Method for Improving Security Screening,” by applicant Synapse Technology Corporation. 【0416】 The trigger may be based on the cruise ship manifest for passengers disembarking from an air transport carrier and connecting to a cruise ship as their next mode of transport. The trigger may be based on information from the train manifest for passengers disembarking from an air transport carrier and connecting to a train as their next mode of transport. The trigger may be based on information from the bus manifest for passengers disembarking from an aircraft and connecting to a bus as their next mode of transport. The trigger may be based on information from the hotel or resort (accommodation) manifest for passengers disembarking from an aircraft and connecting to accommodation as their next mode of transport. 【0417】 The trigger may be based on the manifest MX maintained by System 100 for passengers registered for delivery to their home or another address via baggage pickup and delivery service. 【0418】 File processing in the integrated security screening process for baggage items may rely on security screening images of baggage items taken when the first mode of transport uses an air transport carrier. Images 210 and related data obtained from advanced scanning techniques such as a CT (computed tomography) scanner (i.e., CT imaging device 237) can provide more detailed 3D images of the contents of the bag (i.e., baggage item). These images 210 and related data may be used on the next mode of transport if the management of the baggage item continues to meet compliance with maintaining security protocols. This makes it possible to transfer baggage items from one mode of transport to the next by analyzing the shared images and detecting prohibited items specified by the next mode of transport. Furthermore, different countries apply different regulations regarding the amount of currency and other goods that can be brought into their country. These are just a few examples, and it is impossible to describe all the regulations between the United States and other countries. 【0419】 Baggage items remaining within airport facilities are considered secure as long as they are handled according to reliable airport storage procedures. For example, baggage items are not placed on a conveyor belt and / or left unattended. However, baggage items leaving the final airport for the purpose of connecting to the next mode of transport can maintain security by being handed over to a reliable baggage storage provider and processed using ISSS1070, as described below. 【0420】 When passengers arrive at a cross-border airport with checked baggage, for example upon entry into a country, their baggage must undergo customs clearance procedures by customs authorities. Customs guidelines may vary from country to country. However, many countries require screening of checked baggage for prohibited items or quantities when crossing borders, based on their customs guidelines. 【0421】 Passengers arriving at a cross-border airport may depart the airport via two different lanes. In one or more embodiments, screening by customs authorities may be required in both lanes. 【0422】 Method 1000A may include, in block 1004, loading depersonalized security screening image (SSI) file share data into a virtual memory device (Figures 3A to 3B) by at least one processor. Method 1000A may also include, in block 1006, allocating the depersonalized security screening image file share data to a virtual machine (Figures 3A to 3B) equipped with an SSI browsing application compatible with opening and reading the data, by at least one processor. 【0423】 Method 1000A may include, in block 1007, assembling a communication message on an assigned virtual machine by at least one processor. In one or more embodiments, the communication message may be a message 302 having depersonalized SSI file share data, including a hyperlink to a virtual machine. The hyperlink may be embedded in a sequence of text representing an instruction. 【0424】 Method 1000A may include, in block 1008, transmitting the assembled message to the security screening computer station 1072A by at least one processor. 【0425】 In one or more embodiments, the system and method can depersonalize security screening image (SSI) file sharing data to security or customs authorities. The depersonalized SSI file sharing data may include a pseudo-identifier (PID) and a flight number, where the PID is an identifier associated with or linked to a security screening image 210 taken in accordance with security screening authorities before a checked baggage item boards an airline from the departure airport. 【0426】 Messages may be transmitted via an intranet or the Internet using wired or wireless communication protocols. Messages may be transmitted via public communication systems, satellite communication systems, or mobile phone communication systems. ISSS1070 receives messages and performs security screening in accordance with government regulations concerning borders and mobile vehicles. In some cases, ISSS1070 may be managed by private entities such as hotel chains or resorts. The activities of blocks 1004, 1006 to 1008, and ISSS1070 may be carried out in one or more embodiments by system 190, which is described in relation to Figure 16. 【0427】 As a non-limiting example, the communication of the assembled message may be received by the ISSS1070 security screening (SS) computer station 1072A. The images and data in the assembled message may be tracking security images and data. The first screening may include screening of the tracking security images and / or the data of the assembled message. If the first screening is not passed, the baggage item may be re-screened using security screening device 1072B and using security screening regulations relevant to the location (i.e., country) where security screening device 1072B is installed. In other embodiments, the baggage item may be inspected manually. 【0428】 For passengers and their baggage items to pass through, the baggage items must be cleared through customs. 【0429】 This same image and data may be tagged with a PID and follow the baggage item during its journey for other ISSS1070s or until trusted storage is released. However, if the current tracking security image and / or data cannot clear the ISSS1070 in accordance with the rules or regulations of the next mode of transport, the baggage item will be re-screened by the ISSS1070's security screening device 1072B. However, the tracking security image and / or data may be available until security controls are completed, such as when the baggage item is delivered to a cruise ship cabin or accommodation room, and / or delivered to a train station or bus terminal and loaded onto the next mode of transport. If the baggage item is transported by multiple aircraft to its final destination, security controls may be maintained and the security image and / or data may be tracked along the transport route until the passenger or other untrusted person gains control of the baggage item. 【0430】 Figure 10A shows the SS computer station 1072A and the security screening device 1072B side by side. However, these two devices may be installed in different locations within the airport infrastructure. In this embodiment, a trusted handler receives baggage items marked "unclear / unpassed" and transports them to another location where the security screening device 1072B is installed. 【0431】 In one or more embodiments, the marker may include the IATA license plate on the departure baggage tag, or other BSM information such as the passenger name or personal identification information. The IATA license plate number can be inferred from the PID as described above. 【0432】 Method 1000A may include, in block 1024, the processor receiving either a cleared or uncleared instruction from the SS computer station 1072A or the security screening device 1072B. Method 1000A may also include, in block 2626, the processor updating the handler device and / or scan device with route information associated with the IATA baggage tag, (optionally) PID, or marker, thereby identifying the next destination of the baggage item. In one or more embodiments, the PID may be encoded into a barcode scannable by the scan device or acquisition device. In one or more embodiments, once the marker is printed, in block 1025, all shared image data is removed from memory. In this case, the shared image data is not exposed by access to the PID. 【0433】 Updates performed in block 1026 may be performed by system 190, computer systems associated with baggage handling systems within the airport infrastructure, other vendors assigned message update tasks within the airport infrastructure, computers associated with other travel carriers for transmitting baggage transit, or other vendors assigned message update tasks outside the airport infrastructure. Failure to clear baggage items may, for example, prevent entry into the baggage handling system, transport to the next travel segment, or removal outside the airport or ISSS. Scanners and baggage handler devices may scan IATA license plates or bingo tags for baggage handling instructions (commands). Baggage handling instructions may be embedded in type B messages. 【0434】 In a scenario where baggage items are inspected across the entire airline, some passengers and baggage items that clear the inspection depart from the airport designated as the terminal airport code. Furthermore, baggage items departing from the airport are processed by system 100, and status information may be stored in a field of the LIM record. 【0435】 In another scenario, a passenger and their baggage items may transfer to a different aircraft to reach their destination. In one or more embodiments, baggage that has been screened by ISSS1070 and terminates at an airport is transferred to a cruise ship, train, or bus under trusted management based on a sorted termination type B message. 【0436】 From block 1024, method 1000A proceeds to block 1030 in Figure 10B. 【0437】 Figure 10B shows a method 1000B for reporting the status of baggage items and handing them over in an integrated security screening process for baggage items that have passed through the ISSS, according to one embodiment. 【0438】 Method 1000B may include, in block 1030, the processor determining whether a trusted custodian has scanned the baggage tag or bingo marker on the baggage item by obtaining the origin IATA license plate, PID, or other unique identifier. If the processor's determination in block 1030 is "NO", Method 1000B returns to the beginning of block 1030 and waits for a scan. In one or more embodiments, the scan obtains data from the origin hard copy of the baggage tag or marker. The obtained (scanned) data is converted to a digital BTI or digital PID. If the scan is image data, the image data is converted to machine-readable text. 【0439】 If the processor's determination in block 1030 is "YES", method 1000B may include, in block 1032, causing the processor to generate or display a clearance processing marker indicating the clearance status on the scan device associated with the IATA license plate or PID. An exemplary clearance processing marker (i.e., MK136) is shown in Figure 15. The SSIA system 190 receives a pass / clear or fail / not clear instruction. This instruction may trigger the SSIA system 190 to prompt the handling device and / or scan device to program pass / clear or fail / not clear and / or subsequent route information. The route information is based on various information, including Type B messages, PNR travel information accessed by PNR number, manifest information, or any combination thereof. 【0440】 The clearance processing marker may include delivery location data from the itinerary, PNR data, or booking data. The delivery location data may include cabin or passenger cabin data, or other instructions regarding the secure handling of baggage items from the terminal airport to the next mode of transport. In other examples, however, MK136 may include a unique identifier and a symbol or icon indicating a pass / clear or fail / not cleared security indicator. 【0441】 Other markers may also be used. For example, if luggage items are to be delivered to a registered passenger's home, the home icon may display a check mark indicating that it has been cleared, and the home address or building address indicating the delivery address may be added. 【0442】 Method 1000B may include, in block 1034, a determination by the processor as to whether the contents of the baggage item have passed through the ISS. If the determination in block 1034 is "YES", Method 1000B may include performing a baggage handling process that bypasses the security screening device 1072B of ISS 1060. In other words, the baggage item does not require additional security screening on its means of transport. Tracking security images and / or data analyzed by the SS computer station 1072A have cleared the baggage item from its departure from ISS 1070. Once the baggage item is cleared, it may be sorted based on additional route information. For example, cleared baggage items may terminate at a mobile carrier or airport without additional service. In this example, the programmed additional route information may indicate the route of the baggage item to a baggage item conveyor belt or other termination station so that the baggage item can be picked up by its owner at a designated location. 【0443】 As another example, cleared baggage items may terminate at a mobile carrier or airport that provides further services. In this example, programmed additional route information may indicate the route of baggage items to a designated area within the airport or mobile carrier infrastructure, where they are picked up by a baggage handler associated with system 100 and delivered to another location according to service instructions. Service instructions may include delivery to a home address, office address, or other designated address. 【0444】 In another example, cleared baggage items may change carriers, for example, moving from one aircraft to another. In this case, programmed additional route information may indicate this type of information. In this case, the baggage items may move independently of ISSS1070 and head towards the next aircraft marked as cleared. 【0445】 As another example, cleared baggage items may be transferred from one vehicle to another, and the two vehicles may be different. For example, this could occur when traveling from an airline to a cruise ship, train, bus, or accommodation. In this case, the programmed additional route information may include this type of information, such as the address of the drop-off location. In the case of cruise ships and accommodations, the additional route information may include room numbers or cabin numbers. 【0446】 If the determination in block 1034 is "NO", method 1000B executes the baggage handling process in block 1038 and transfers the baggage item to the security screening device 1072B of ISSS 1060. This allows for further security screening and processing according to the mode of transport associated with ISSS 1060. 【0447】 In block 1040, method 1000B may include the processor determining whether the baggage item is already listed (for example, for a registered passenger associated with manifest MX (Figure 1A) for the next vehicle to travel, or associated with a manifest for delivery to a home address, office address, or other designated address). If the determination result in block 1040 is "NO", method 1000B terminates in block 1044. This applies when system 190 is processing the entire aircraft. If the determination in block 1040 is "YES", method 1000B may include updating the LIM record 186 in block 1042 with the current state and location of the baggage item. 【0448】 Figure 11A shows a flowchart of Method 1100 for performing security screening reanalysis of baggage items based on security level, according to one embodiment. In one example, Method 1100 may include, in block 1120, providing depersonalized file sharing data by a processor, as described in relation to Figures 2C and 3A to 3C. 【0449】 In one or more embodiments, a person on a workstation (i.e., SS computer system 1072A) or an AI algorithm can analyze the data to determine whether the baggage items can be cleared by customs authorities. For example, a machine learning algorithm can be used to determine that the contents of the baggage items include Z mobile phones, B amount of cash, or C quantity of regulated goods. Some countries limit the number of mobile phones a person can possess to X. If the contents include Z mobile phones, which is more than X, the baggage may not be able to clear customs. Alternatively, if the baggage contains C quantity of regulated goods, and the regulation limits the quantity to P (a value greater than C), the baggage may be able to clear customs. Naturally, it is not practical to describe all individual regulations in this specification. The processor can access security screening images and / or content lists stored in memory, for example, in a secure cloud storage system. 【0450】 For example, method 1100 may include determining in block 1122 whether the passenger has cleared customs. If the determination in block 1122 is "NO", method 1100 returns to the starting point of block 1122. If the determination in block 1122 is "YES", method 1100 proceeds to block 1123. 【0451】 For example, method 1100 may include determining a virtual aviation security level in block 1123. Aviation security screening may determine in block 1124 whether the stored security screening image (SSI) is above the required standard for the current mode of travel. If the determination in block 1124 is "NO", method 1100 proceeds to block 1126. For example, baggage items entering a country's first airport from another country may be required to undergo a predetermined level of aviation security screening at the departure airport or the airport where the current security screening image was taken. In another example, baggage items may require re-screening based on an actionable intelligence report. In one or more embodiments, in block 1124, it may be determined whether the stored security screening image (SSI) is above the required standard for the current mode of travel using the stored MID225 (Figure 2A) or the manufacturer name in the metadata associated with the PID or SSI file name. 【0452】 As a non-limiting example, different security screening equipment is used at airports around the world. Not all of this equipment complies with the latest security standards of a particular country. In this case, the determination in block 1124 would be "NO," and method 1100 would re-screen the baggage items in block 1126, thereby allowing the baggage items to be transferred to connecting flights at cross-border airports. 【0453】 For example, if no image exists, the determination in block 1124 may be "NO". In this case, method 1100 rescreens the baggage item in block 1126, thereby allowing the baggage item to be transferred to a connecting flight at a cross-border airport. For example, some smaller airports may not have advanced screening equipment that meets current standards, requirements, or certifications. For example, some smaller airports may conduct manual inspections and allow baggage items to board without images. In other cases, baggage items may be inspected with an Explosives Detection Device (ETD) but not screened by a TSA-certified explosives detection system. In other cases, baggage items may be too large to fit into a TSA-certified explosives detection system (i.e., security screening device). In such cases, security screening images may not be available for all baggage items. 【0454】 In many cases, TSA-approved explosive detection systems (i.e., security screening devices) used on the first mode of transport meet or exceed the standards and requirements of the second mode of transport, including accommodations, buses, trains, ferries, and cruise ships. However, security screening images of baggage items from an airline departing from an airport in any part of the world (the first airport) and landing at an airport in another part of the world (the second airport) may not meet the requirements of the security screening authority at the second airport. 【0455】 In block 1126, method 1100 may include performing security rescreening of baggage items based on required standards, criteria, or certifications for checked baggage in civil aviation. This may occur when standards differ from country to country. This may occur, for example, when security screening images at the point of departure are captured by security screening equipment that meets lower standards or requirements than currently required. Standards and requirements change periodically, and equipment is subsequently installed. The method is adaptable to accommodate improved screening when security screening techniques and algorithms in a second mode of transport are superior to security screening equipment and algorithms in a first mode of transport. Alternatively, the method is adaptable to accommodate improved screening by a second mode of transport when security screening techniques and algorithms in a first mode of transport are superior to security screening equipment and algorithms in a second mode of transport. 【0456】 If the determination in block 1124 is "YES", method 1100 may include obtaining a saved security screening image or content list of the baggage item in block 1130. In block 1132, method 1100 may include transmitting the obtained saved security screening image to a security screening workstation. In block 1138, method 1100 may include performing security screening of the baggage item. Security screening may involve analyzing previous security screening images (e.g., those obtained in previous countries or airports) using an AI algorithm or human monitoring (man-in-the-loop). 【0457】 In one or more embodiments, a screening authority may have information on a specific type of threat, which could enable screening of the contents of baggage items using security screening equipment via CT or X-ray imaging of checked baggage in civil aviation. 【0458】 Returning to block 1124, if the determination in block 1124 is "YES", method 1100 may include obtaining the passenger's personal identification information associated with the baggage item under security screening in block 1134. Method 1100 may include transmitting the obtained passenger's personal identification information in block 1136. In block 1138, method 1100 may include performing a virtual security screening of the baggage item against threat security levels using both the image and the personal identification information. "Virtual security screening" as defined herein means that the baggage item was not re-inserted into the security screening device and did not capture a security screening image currently under review. Instead, the security screening image is a follow-along image that can be tracked as long as the baggage item remains under trusted control and the image meets the security screening image requirements, criteria, or certifications for a particular location. 【0459】 In one or more embodiments, the SS file name is encoded with personally identifiable information. This can be used to protect the identity of passengers. 【0460】 In one or more embodiments, the screening authority may have intelligence regarding specific types of threats from a country, an individual, or a group. Personally identified information may be used to assess the threat security level of a passenger in relation to the security screening results. 【0461】 Blocks 1126 and 1138 proceed to block 1140. If the determination in block 1140 is "NO", the baggage item may be re-screened in block 1126 using security screening equipment that operates according to the security screening requirements, standards, and certifications for checked baggage in civil aviation. Block 1140 determines whether the baggage or passenger is cleared. If the determination in block 1140 is "YES", method 1100 may decide in block 1144 whether to transfer the baggage item to a second means of transport. In other words, the re-analysis in method 1100 makes it possible to move the baggage item directly from the first means of transport 1110A (Figure 11B) to the second means of transport 1110B (Figure 11B) via a trusted storage and handling company 1117. If the determination in block 1140 is "YES", method 1100 may include authorizing the processor to directly deliver the baggage items to the vehicle associated with the second means of transport. 【0462】 If the determination in block 1144 is "NO", the baggage item is released in block 1148. For example, a baggage handler or trusted custodian may scan the IATA baggage tag or other markers or tags using an electronic retrieval device. The retrieval device may include a message indicating instructions to release the baggage item, such as transporting the baggage item to a rotating baggage claim conveyor belt. The baggage item may be released from the first means of transport, such as when the airport is a terminal airport, or when a mobile carrier vehicle arrives at the destination or pier and passengers disembark. 【0463】 Figure 11B is a schematic diagram of an embodiment showing a trusted custodian 1117 between the first mode of transport 1110A and the second mode of transport (SMOT) 1110B, according to the embodiment. From the moment baggage is checked in at the airport, it is under trusted custody. That is, it means that no unauthorized person, including the baggage owner, can directly access the contents. The trusted custodian may have sufficient security mechanisms to meet or exceed the relevant security standards of the corresponding transport carrier. Furthermore, in these trusted custody facilities, there is no opportunity for passengers to alter the contents of baggage under trusted custody in the first mode of transport 1110A. Checked baggage on airlines, buses, rail, sea, or additional government agencies is handed over under the control of the transport entity or custody facility. Upon receiving baggage authorization record 1113, if a reanalysis (Figure 11A) determines that the contents of the checked baggage meet the rules and regulations of the second means of transport (SMOT) 1110B, the airline (and / or its designated partner or accrediting body) may move the checked baggage directly to a trusted custodian 1117 instead of rescreening the checked baggage at the terminal 1118 of the second means of transport (SMOT) (Figure 11A). Furthermore, once the checked baggage is transported to the second means of transport 1110B, the baggage items are not rescreened at the second means of transport 1110B and are loaded directly onto the transport vehicle. In the illustrated example, the second means of transport 1110B is another aircraft, but the second means of transport 1110B may also be a cruise ship. In the case of a cruise ship, the baggage items may be transported directly to the passenger cabins on board. If the second means of transport 1110B is a vehicle, and passengers have seats and luggage items are loaded elsewhere, the luggage items may be transported directly to the designated luggage loading location. If the second means of transport 1110B is a hotel, the luggage items may be delivered directly to the passenger's room. 【0464】 In Figure 11B, airline carrier 1101 has a passenger cabin 1104 and a checked baggage storage room 1102. Passengers do not have access to the checked baggage storage room 1102 before, during, or after boarding. The operator of airline carrier 1101 is responsible for the safekeeping of checked baggage in the checked baggage storage room 1102. If a passenger uses another airline carrier 1107 which has a checked baggage storage room 1103 and a separate passenger seating area 1105, a trusted custodian 1117 can move the passenger's baggage between airline carrier 1101's baggage storage room 1102 and airline 1107's baggage storage room 1103. However, in this case, the baggage is re-analyzed according to the rules and regulations of aircraft 1107, and the baggage authorization record 1113 propagates the approval 1114a or rejection 1114b of the baggage items. If approval 1114a exists in baggage authorization record 33, the baggage item can be moved directly from baggage storage room 1102 to baggage storage room 1103 without additional screening at SMOT terminal 1118. On the other hand, if baggage authorization record 1113 indicates rejection 1114b of the baggage, the SMOT terminal 1118 will perform another screening to verify compliance with the relevant security protocol. 【0465】 The first mode of travel 1110A may include an electronic device 1109. The electronic device 1109 may be part of a baggage handling system or part of a computing device for an employee engaged in baggage loading or unloading operations. In one or more embodiments, the electronic device 1109 may be associated with a security screening agency or other organization. A tracking device on a baggage item may be configured to communicate information stored in its memory, including at least one of security information, IATA license plate number, PNR number, personal identification information, and a baggage item image. For example, security information is transmitted to an electronic device authorized to receive security information and / or personal identification information upon landing at a transit airport or final arrival airport. The tracking device may receive BSM information from a terminal BSM at the terminal airport or a transfer BSM at a transit airport. The electronic device is configured to transmit communication information related to the transit airport or terminal airport in order to receive security information and / or personal identification information. In some embodiments, the electronic device is configured to request the automatic transmission of communication information related to a transit or terminal airport in order to receive security information and / or personally identifiable information, as an additional security compliance mechanism. 【0466】 If the second mode of transport 1110B is a cruise ship, the SMOT terminal 1118 may be installed on the pier side of the cruise ship, adjacent to it, or on the cruise ship itself. If the second mode of transport 1110B is a bus, the SMOT terminal 1118 may be installed in or near a bus terminal. If the second mode of transport 1110B is a train, the SMOT terminal 1118 may be installed at or near a train station. If the second mode of transport 1110B is a ferry, the SMOT terminal 1118 may be installed on the pier, adjacent to the ferry, or as part of the ferry. If the second mode of transport 1110B is accommodation, the SMOT terminal 1118 may be installed adjacent to, remote from, or as part of the accommodation. If the second mode of transport 1110B is an airline carrier, the SMOT terminal 1118 may be installed in an airport terminal or hangar. 【0467】 For example, the first baggage screening requirement may require an Explosives Detection System (EDS) that is either a TSA-certified EDS or an EDS that is the European Union / European Civil Aviation Conference (EU / ECAC) EDS standard 3.0 / 3.1. This is the case when the first mode of transport is civil aviation. If the transport vehicle of the first mode of transport related to civil aviation lands at a transit or terminal airport, baggage items may need to undergo 1) customs screening and / or 2) threat security level screening before being transferred to another transport vehicle via the second mode of transport or released from the terminal airport. The transport vehicle of the second mode of transport may use baggage screening requirements equivalent to or less stringent than those of the first mode of transport. In this case, the contents of the baggage items may not require re-screening by EDS and may be inspected for items prohibited by the transport vehicle of the second mode of transport. 【0468】 Figure 12A shows a block diagram of a tracking device 41 according to one embodiment. The tracking device 41 may include a subscriber identification module (SIM) card 1241, a GPS-GSM tracking component 1242, and an antenna ANT. The GPS-GSM tracking component 1242 may be configured to perform cell tower positioning using the GSM / cellular positioning protocol 1256, Wi-Fi positioning using the Wi-Fi positioning protocol 1252, GNSS positioning using the GNSS positioning protocol 1258, and Bluetooth positioning using the Bluetooth positioning protocol 1254. In one or more embodiments, the subscriber identification information of the SIM card 1241 may be associated with a baggage handling service, a baggage tracking service, an air transport carrier, or a mobile vehicle. In one or more embodiments, the subscriber identification information of the SIM card 1241 may be associated with a passenger. The GPS-GSM tracking component 1242 may include at least one processor. The tracking device 41 may include at least one processor 1244. 【0469】 The tracking device may include an Inertial Navigation System (INS) for environments where Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are unavailable. In environments where GNSS is unavailable, acquired location information may be obtained from the INS. The tracking device may include a Global Navigation System (GPS) unit. Where available, the tracking device may include other location determination protocols or locations that can be derived from the location of peripheral devices such as IoT devices, Bluetooth-enabled devices, or RF access points. IoT devices, Bluetooth-enabled devices, or RF access points may be found, for example, in hotels, cruise ships, airports, restaurants, shops, buildings, etc. RF access points may support a variety of RF communication platforms, including but not limited to Wi-Fi and GSM-5G communication protocols. 【0470】 Underground, tracking devices may use mobile ad-hoc communication protocols. This is because airport staff devices may function as ad-hoc nodes for transmitting location information from underground to wired or wireless communication networks above ground. Location information is transmitted to the network interface of a computing system associated with at least one processor of system 100, the tracking device, the network device, a computer system designated for tracking the baggage handling system device, and a computer system associated with the airline or other moving vehicle. Location information may include location coordinate data of the tracking device and information loaded from the BSM. 【0471】 In addition to providing location information, tracking devices may operate in other modes of interacting with devices on moving vehicles, including but not limited to kiosks, RFID receivers, baggage handling systems, and passenger mobile communication devices. 【0472】 The tracking device 41 may move within a building along ground and / or underground movement paths, which may result in environments where GNSS is unavailable. Therefore, the tracking device 41 can provide location information even in environments where GNSS is unavailable. However, when used outside of airport infrastructure, the tracking device 41 has access to GNSS. Therefore, the tracking device 41 can provide location information derived from GNSS data. 【0473】 While GSM or cellular networks are readily available, these networks do not have 100% global coverage. For example, cellular communication may be interrupted in basements or on lower levels of buildings. Depending on the building's structure and neighboring buildings, communication within a building may be interrupted or intermittent. Therefore, as luggage items move through buildings, basements, and outdoors, tracking devices need to acquire location information using various methods and adapt communication parameters according to the surrounding environment and circumstances. 【0474】 In one or more embodiments, the tracking device 41 can use available RF access points (including Bluetooth access points and / or Wi-Fi access points), as described later. For example, the tracking device 41 may include an RFID unit 1243 configured to communicate using RFID frequencies. In a non-limiting example, the tracking device 41 with the RFID unit 1243 may be configured to communicate with an RFID receiver in a baggage handling system. Some baggage handling systems include an RFID receiver for reading or receiving RFID signals from IATA-compatible RFID baggage tags. 【0475】 In one or more embodiments, the tracking device 41 can function as an IATA-compatible RFID baggage tag within the airport infrastructure while simultaneously providing tracking functionality outside the airport infrastructure. The tracking device 41 may include at least one digital certificate 1246. In one embodiment, the digital certificate 1246 is an organization-level digital certificate that enables encryption and decryption of organization-level information. 【0476】 The tracking device 41 may include a digital certificate 1246 that allows a passenger's mobile device to pair with the tracking device 41. The tracking device 41 may also include a digital certificate 1246 for communicating with various communication platforms. 【0477】 The tracking device 41 may include a display 1248 equipped with a display screen, power supply, and memory 1250. The memory 1250 can store information. 【0478】 In one or more embodiments, the power source may be a battery with one or more power-saving modes. A first power-saving mode may be based on the altitude detected by the tracking device. A second power-saving mode may be based on the speed detected by the tracking device. For example, if the tracking device is in an aircraft in flight, the tracking device may be powered off or put into sleep mode. A third power-saving mode may be based on the selected communication mode of the tracking device. For example, the Bluetooth communication protocol consumes less power than other communication protocols. As a result, the tracking device selects a communication protocol to conserve battery power. 【0479】 In one or more embodiments, the display 1248 may be configured to display stored information. 【0480】 For example, memory 1250 can store a PID 1268 associated with a baggage item. This PID is transmitted from the baggage handling system to the SS imaging device 45, as shown in Figure 2A. For example, the PID may be a TSA-compatible number that needs to be transmitted by the baggage handling system 63 (Figure 1A) to the SS imaging device to identify a baggage item within the security tracking zone 37. PID 1268 may be PID 204, as described in relation to Figure 2C. 【0481】 For example, memory 1250 may store a baggage item image 1273. The baggage item image may be captured and uploaded to memory 1250 when the tracking device 41 is attached to the baggage item and registered with the baggage item. 【0482】 For example, memory 1250 may store a unique tracking device identifier 1277 and an application 1276. The unique tracking device identifier 1277 uniquely identifies the tracking device. When executed, application 1276 may include programming instructions that control the operation of the tracking device 41, communicate between various platforms, transmit information, store information, and display the stored information. 【0483】 Figure 12B shows a block diagram of a security screening management unit (manager) 1280 according to one embodiment. The security screening management unit 1280 is described in conjunction with Figure 2A and may be part of the programming instructions for application 1276. Figure 2A shows an example in which a baggage handling system device in a security tracking zone 37 transmits a PID to a tracking device 41. In this example, memory 1250 can store the PID created by the baggage handling system and also provided to the SS imaging device 45 (Figure 2A). In a non-limiting embodiment, the SS imaging device 45 that generates the PID can transmit the PID to the tracking device 41. The PID may be uploaded by a registered computing device that uploads either PID 204, PID 204', or PID 204''. 【0484】 The security screening management unit 1280 may include a pairing unit 1282 and an authentication unit 1284. The pairing unit 1282 may use, for example, Bluetooth pairing. The authentication unit 1284 may require a specific digital certificate to authorize Bluetooth pairing between the BHS device, SS imaging device 45, or registered computing device and the tracking device on the baggage item 138. When the tracking device / baggage item approaches the BHS device 67 as it enters the SS imaging device 45, the BHS device and the tracking device 41 are paired. The BHS device 67 may be programmed to transmit a primary ID, pseudo-ID, or other TSA-compatible number (i.e., PID 204) to the tracking device to identify the baggage item entering the SS imaging device. 【0485】 As an example, the unique tracking device identifier communication unit 1286 can transmit a unique tracking device identifier to the BHS device 67 (Figure 2A) before receiving a primary ID, pseudo ID, or other TSA-compatible number. In this case, the unique tracking device identifier functions as a travel application number, and the application aims to receive a primary ID, pseudo ID, or other TSA-compatible number. The primary ID, pseudo ID, or other TSA-compatible number is received by the PID receiving unit 1288. The received PID is stored in the memory of the tracking device 41. 【0486】 As a non-limiting example, a unique tracking device identifier and PID may be configured as depersonalized information that allows baggage items to be identified by baggage item identifiers rather than by passenger identification information. 【0487】 Memory 1250 can store flight number 1278. 【0488】 Figure 13 shows a flowchart of method 1300 for assigning a tracking device 41 and starting tracking of a baggage item, according to one embodiment. Method 1300 may include attaching the tracking device 41 to the baggage item in block 1302. Method 1300 may include assigning the tracking device 41 to the baggage item by a processor in block 1304. This assignment may include programming a unique tracking device identifier 1277 to the tracking device 41 by the processor. 【0489】 For example, a tracking device may have a unique tracking device identifier that can be added to a manifest or baggage information message (i.e., a Type B message) to locate a baggage item with the tracking device 41 attached. For example, the tracking device 41 may transmit its unique tracking device identifier 1277 in a communication signal to other devices, including devices related to the baggage handling system, acquisition devices, etc. 【0490】 As a non-limiting example, a baggage information message may include the IATA license plate number, flight number, or a unique tracking device identifier 1277. The baggage item's tracking device can respond to a location request for the associated baggage item 138. For example, system 100 may use the IATA baggage tag number and / or the unique tracking device identifier 1277 to send an inquiry about a lost baggage item to the baggage handling system device. When the baggage handling system device 67 detects the tracking device, it may communicate a return baggage information message that identifies its own device ID and / or location data, airport information, date, and time. 【0491】 For example, a unique tracking device identifier 1277 may be part of the registration and assignment process and added to the LIM record 186. 【0492】 Block 1305 may include a determination by the processor as to whether the tracking device 41 in Block 1306 is assigned remotely. For example, the tracking device may be assigned by a baggage handling service that picks up baggage from the passenger's or traveler's home or other designated address and transports it to the airport or other means of transport. If the determination result in Block 1306 is "NO", the route from Block 1306 ends in Block 1307. If the determination result in Block 1306 is "YES", method 1300 may include the processor obtaining BSM information from the airline in Block 1312. The BSM information may be based on the BSM of the originating airline. However, airline BSM information is only available if the passenger has checked in with the airline carrier using a personal computing device or mobile communication device. As an example, it is possible to program itinerary information into the tracking device remotely. The itinerary information may include PNR numbers, reservation numbers, and other itinerary confirmation numbers obtained from the itinerary of the vehicle in transit. The flight number can be captured from the BSM or baggage information message. 【0493】 Method 1300 may include, in block 1308, the processor determining whether the tracking device 41 is assigned from a destination airport / location. If the determination in block 1308 is "NO", the method from block 1308 terminates in block 1307. If the determination in block 1308 is "YES", method 1300 may include, for example in block 1314, the processor obtaining BSM information from the terminal BSM. The BSM may be the terminal BSM of an airline. The tracking device may also be programmed with the information described in relation to block 1312. In one embodiment, the tracking device may be offered as a service to passengers, such as as a reward for frequent purchases of cruises or stays at a particular hotel (i.e., a mobile vehicle). 【0494】 Block 1305 may include the system 100's processor determining in block 1310 whether the tracking device 41 has been assigned from the departure airport. If the determination in block 1310 is "NO", the method from block 1310 ends in block 1311. If the determination in block 1310 is "YES", the method 1300 may include, for example in block 1316, the processor obtaining BSM information from the departure airline BSM. As an example, an airline carrier may provide a tracking device for a travel itinerary as a service to passengers. The travel itinerary may be one-way or round-trip. The tracking device may be assigned at the counter by airline staff. In another embodiment, the tracking device may be provided as a service to passengers at a different time, such as as a reward for frequent flying. In another embodiment, the tracking device may be provided as a service to passengers who always fly first class. 【0495】 Method 1300 may include, in block 1318, the system processor loading flight number 1278 into the tracking device. The flight number may be obtained from a Type B message or BSM. As an example, Method 1300 may include, in block 1322, the system processor loading the PID into the tracking device 41. 【0496】 As an example, method 1300 may include, in block 1324, initiating tracking of baggage items using a tracking device by the processor of system 100 or another computer system designated for tracking. For example, an airline carrier may have a designated computer system for tracking baggage item tracking devices. A baggage handling service may have a designated computing system or server for tracking baggage items via assigned tracking devices. 【0497】 As an example, method 1300 may include, in block 1326, the tracking device 41 discovering an available wireless communication platform on which a communication connection can be established. The tracking device 41 may include a GPS-GSM communication device configured to receive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. The tracking device may be configured to communicate with a Wi-Fi wireless communication platform, a Bluetooth wireless communication platform, a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless communication platform, a cellular wireless communication platform, a GSM-5G wireless communication platform, a long-range communication platform, a short-range communication platform, a radio frequency identification (RFID) communication platform, or a near-field communication (NFC) platform. In one or more embodiments, the tracking device may establish a wireless RF communication connection using an ad-hoc protocol or connect to an IoT device. The tracking device may be configured to communicate using one of the wireless communication platforms to transmit location information to a network interface of a computing system. 【0498】 As an example, method 1300 may include, in block 1328, acquiring location information by a tracking device 41, and in block 1330, transmitting the location information to a processor of system 100 via an available wireless communication platform by the tracking device 41. 【0499】 Figure 14A shows a conventional BSM1400 for airline carriers. A BSM is a Type B message. A Type B message may have multiple data fields containing encoded characters. For example, encoded characters may include the U.S. Standard Information Interchange Code (ASCII code), BODT, padded BODT, etc. The code and format of baggage information messages (Type B messages) are described, for example, in IATA's "Recommended Practice 1745 Baggage Information Messages" (Passenger Services Resolution Manual, June 2010, 30th edition, pp. 1110-1205). Type B messages may be transmitted over the internet using Extended Markup Language (XML) messages. 【0500】 A Type B message may include a field or line 1402 containing a header. For example, the header might be labeled "BSM" and represent a heading indicating the beginning of an airline BSM. A field or line 1404 may contain a set of alphanumeric characters following the line prefix ".V / ". As a non-restrictive example, the line prefix ".V / " may indicate the version and supplementary data. For example, the supplementary data may include transit points in the airline or airport infrastructure. The ".V / " data field can indicate whether a Type B message, such as a BSM, is a terminating BSM. The ".V / " data field contains a number following the " / " indicating the data dictionary version number. The following characters are baggage source indicators, where "L" represents local, "T" represents forwarding, "X" represents terminating, and "R" represents remote. The baggage source indicator is followed by a three-digit airport code. In Figure 14, the BSM is a forwarding BSM with version number 1 and airport code JFK. 【0501】 When sorting by BSM, the system receives and sorts BSMs from all airlines. As a non-restrictive example, the ".V / " field can be used to search for baggage source indicators that show "T". Furthermore, system 100 may have a large number of site locations. Therefore, for a cruise ship departing from Tampa, the system will sort by the BSM with "T" and "TPA" in the ".V" field of the baggage source indicator, and a number corresponding to the airport code. 【0502】 Other Type B messages may have a similar format in the baggage source indicator, or may be modified to have a similar format. 【0503】 The field or row 1406 may contain a set of alphanumeric characters representing the departure flight number, date, and airport code, followed by the row prefix ".F / ". The alphanumeric characters may be separated by the symbol " / ". For example, the data "22MAY" may represent the arrival date. The airport code "IST" represents Istanbul Airport, followed by the date. In the field or row 1406, the alphanumeric columns separated by the symbol " / " before the date and after ".F" contain the airline code followed by the departure flight number. 【0504】 The field or row 1408 may contain a set of alphanumeric characters representing the flight number, date, and airport code of the arriving flight, followed by the row prefix ".I / ". The alphanumeric characters may be separated by the symbol " / ". For example, the data "12MAY" may represent the departure date. The airport code "SLC" represents Salt Lake City Airport, followed by the date. In the field or row 1408, the columns of alphanumeric characters separated by the symbol " / " before the date and after ".I" contain the airline code and the subsequent arrival flight number. 【0505】 As a non-exclusive example, baggage item LPN 2793461000, identified in line 1412, is assigned a departure flight number identified in field or line 1406. Based on airport code "IST", this flight originates in Turkey. This flight connects or lands at airport code JFK, which is a cross-border airport identified in field or line 1402. This baggage item may require screening by U.S. customs authorities, the country of crossing the border. 【0506】 In the example in Figure 14, the baggage items may require re-screening by the TSA to connect to an airline flying from JFK in the United States (i.e., the cross-border country) to Salt Lake City. However, once the baggage items arrive in Salt Lake City, no further screening by customs authorities is required. 【0507】 Field or line 1412 may contain a set of numbers following the line prefix ".N / ", which represents the OP-BTI digital BTI data record. Field or line 1410 may contain a set of characters following the line prefix ".P / ", which represents the passenger's name. The first and last names may be separated by the symbol " / ". 【0508】 Field or line 1418 may contain a line prefix ".L / " followed by a set of alphanumeric characters representing the passenger name record number or PNR number. Field or line 1420 may contain a message end indicator such as "ENDBSM". 【0509】 Between lines 1402 and 1420, other fields or lines may exist, such as fields 1414 and 1416. Field or line 1414 has the prefix ".S / " and is matching data. Field or line 1416 has the prefix ".W / " and relates to baggage item weight, quantity, dimensions, and type data. Since airline Type B messages are a well-known technique, a detailed explanation of Type B messages is omitted. Some fields / lines are mandatory, while others are optional depending on the Type B message. 【0510】 However, system 100 can access other Type B messages from the airline's computer system to determine, for example, whether baggage is lost or undiscovered. System 100 can access other Type B messages stored in the airline's computer system to determine the status of baggage, for example, before a passenger begins their stay at accommodation or at other times when tracking the status of baggage as it moves within the airport environment. 【0511】 The illustrative BSM1400 is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. Each airline may make changes to its own BSM. 【0512】 Outside the airport Airline infrastructure may generate a Type B message, which is either a Terminal Type B message or a Terminal Baggage Source Message (BSM). This message specifies the terminal airport and city where the handling and transport of the baggage item ends, as described in the BSM "Recommended Practice 1745 Baggage Information Message" in the IATA Passenger Service Resolution Manual (published June 2010, 30th edition, pp. 1110-1205). The full text of that description is incorporated into this disclosure by reference. Alternatively, other IATA-compatible messages may specify the terminal airport and city where the handling and transport of the baggage ends. An IATA Type B message may include the IATA license plate number and other information linking the baggage to the passenger. 【0513】 Figure 15 is a schematic diagram of a process 1500 for generating an authorization indicia for bypassing additional baggage screening or indicating completion of screening, according to one embodiment. The process shown in Figure 15 can produce, for example, MK136. 【0514】 In Figure 15, process 1500 begins with scanning a marker 212 or a hard copy baggage tag from the departure point. Marker 212 is shown in the figure to prevent congestion. Marker 212 may include passenger name 214, departure airport flight identifier 216, arrival airport flight identifier 1506, a 10-digit license plate 218, an adjacent barcoded license plate (i.e., barcode 220), and / or a BSM record indicator. 【0515】 The barcode scanner 116 reads the barcode 220. The scanner 116 is communicatively connected to the server 148 to receive information from the security screening results and simulated BSM shown in Figures 10A to 10B. In one or more embodiments, the MK136 may be similar to the marker 212, however, in this case the MK136 is updated with the same or similar BSM data from 212, the cruise inline mode of travel or accommodation is represented by the maritime mode indicator mark 1516, and the indication of passing screening according to the cruise line and government security regulations is presented by the maritime approval indicator mark 1514. Additional details 1518 regarding the destination of the baggage item 138 on the cruise ship (accommodation) are enumerated from the cruise ship (accommodation) manifest, including the cruise line, cruise ship, departure date, cabin number, deck number, and reservation number. The print file of the MK136 is sent to, for example, the printer 120 and printed. The MK136 is affixed to the baggage 138. 【0516】 Baggage item 138 from the airport is under trusted control and therefore only trusted personnel can access it. In other words, the passenger or owner of baggage item 138 cannot access baggage item 138, and therefore there is no opportunity to insert smuggled goods or prohibited items after the initial screening by the TSA. 【0517】 In the event that the departure point hard copy baggage tag is lost and marker 212 is also missing, the baggage item must be processed individually. However, system 100 will match the passenger with the baggage item and, for example, a simulated BSM generated from image data captured by a mobile communication device. The simulated BSM and / or security data can be printed by process 1500. MK136 may contain information from the cruise ship (accommodation) manifest, including the cruise line, cruise ship, departure date, cabin number, deck number, and reservation number. 【0518】 Security Screening Integrated Support System Figure 16 shows a Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) system 190 according to one embodiment. The SSIA system 190 is shown within the black frame below line L1. The Security Screening Integrated Assistant (SSIA) system 190 can perform security screening independently of customs screening and air screening when connecting to another airline. Alternatively, the SSIA system 190 may perform security screening through a trusted custodian for the transfer of baggage items to another vehicle / means of transport that has different rules and regulations than air travel. The descriptions in Figures 2A to 2C and Figures 3A to 3C also apply to security screening for the transfer of baggage items under trusted custody to another vehicle / means of transport that has different rules and regulations than air travel. For example, in one or more embodiments, depersonalization of certain data may be used to protect the identity of the passenger. 【0519】 The descriptions and actions in Figures 16 and 17A to 17C may be carried out in parallel with actions that may need to be carried out by customs authorities, for example. Security screening of the second means of transport using reliable storage and handling in Figures 11A to 11B may be carried out independently, including before, during, or after inspection by customs authorities. 【0520】 Furthermore, personnel using workstations to interact with the virtual machine 330 can utilize a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays images of objects on the display screen. In addition, displaying images of training data on the GUI allows personnel to make necessary decisions about the contents within the spatial capacity of the baggage items. 【0521】 The SSIA system 190 is communicatively connected to a first mobile mode system (FMTS) 10 and a first security screening machine system (FSSMS) 40, shown on line L1. In non-limiting examples, the FMTS 10 may include one or more computing systems 30, 35 or server systems having memory devices directly or indirectly associated with the FMTS 10. It should be understood from this disclosure that each airline has a number of server systems and / or computing systems. The FMTS 10 may include multiple airlines 20 and 22, for example, for a particular airline. 【0522】 The term "SVTS" is used to refer to a second means of transport (SVTS), such as a cruise ship, bus, train, or accommodation. In one or more embodiments, a cruise ship is accommodation. In one or more embodiments, a train may be accommodation. An SVTS may be the following means of transport: FMTS10 is the first means of transport (FVTS), an air travel transport carrier departing from anywhere in the world. 【0523】 To avoid overcrowding in the diagram, FMTS10 may include multiple airlines corresponding to multiple airlines. Each airline may have its own computer system 30 and computer system 35. The term "airline carrier" may be used interchangeably with airlines and means of transport. 【0524】 Computer system 30 may be a travel information system that stores, for example, passenger itinerary data and flight information and performs passenger check-in. Computer system 35 stores Type B messages generated by a baggage handling system that routes checked baggage items through airport infrastructure. Computer systems 30 or 35 may provide baggage item check-in. In one or more embodiments, a mobile carrier, such as an airline, may require passengers to print or generate a boarding pass after completing check-in. After the passenger completes check-in, baggage items may be checked in. 【0525】 Passenger baggage items are checked in by the airline, which is part of FMTS10. Checked baggage items are fitted with a departure hard copy baggage tag 200, as shown in Figure 2A. After tagging, baggage items are sent to FSSMS40 via the automated conveyor system of the baggage handling system. 【0526】 Although FSSMS40 is shown separately from FMTS10, both may be housed within or constitute part of the airport infrastructure. FSSMS40 may include one or more security screening imaging devices 45 and 50. FSSMS40 may include one or more computing systems 55 or server systems equipped with memory devices 113 for storing security screening images from imaging device 45. FSSMS40 may include one or more computing systems 65 or server systems equipped with memory devices 113 for storing security screening images from imaging device 50. 【0527】 The government agency responsible for airline security screening may be referred to as the TSA. The CT scanners (i.e., image capture device 237 in Figure 2A) used by the TSA for baggage screening are manufactured by multiple vendors. Representative vendors include, for example: 【0528】 Smith Detection: Smith Detection is a leading provider of advanced security solutions, including CT scanners. Its HI-SCAN XCT series scanners (such as the HI-SCAN 6040 XCT and HI-SCAN 7555 XCT) are designed for screening checked baggage and carry-on baggage at airports. 【0529】 L3 Harris Technologies: L3 Harris Technologies is also a leading supplier of security equipment, including CT scanners for baggage screening. Its CLEARSCAN brand of CT scanners is used by the TSA at several airports across the United States. 【0530】 ANALOGIC Corporation: ANALOGIC Corporation develops advanced imaging technologies, including CT scanners for airport security. Its CONNECT brand series of scanners (such as the CONNECT70 and CONNECT100) are designed to enhance airport security screening. 【0531】 LEIDOS (formerly Lockheed Martin): LEIDOS is a global technology company that provides security solutions, including CT scanners for baggage screening. The company developed the VACIS M6500 system, a high-performance CT scanner for baggage inspection at airports. 【0532】 CT images generated during baggage screening are typically stored in a multi-image format. This format allows for the exchange, storage, and transmission of images between different systems and devices. CT scanners capture a series of 2D cross-sectional images and reconstruct them into a 3D image of the scanned object. 3D visualization and analysis of CT images often utilizes specialized software designed for processing and rendering multi-image files. These software solutions reconstruct 2D cross-sections into 3D models, enabling security personnel to inspect scanned baggage in detail. 【0533】 The DICOS (Digital Imaging and Communications for Security) standard is an image format standard developed jointly by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Its aim is to improve the interoperability and effectiveness of security screening systems used in airports, critical infrastructure facilities, and other locations. DICOS is designed to meet the specific needs of security imaging, including the storage, transmission, and processing of security images. It addresses the limitations of the DICOM (Medical Digital Image Communications) standard, which primarily focuses on medical images. The DICOS standard provides the following features: 【0534】 Interoperability: DICOS enables seamless communication between security imaging systems and components from different manufacturers, resulting in more efficient and effective security screening processes. 【0535】 Scalability: The DICOS standard is designed to easily incorporate and adapt to the latest technologies and techniques emerging in the field of security imaging. 【0536】 Flexibility: DICOS supports a wide range of security imaging modalities, including X-ray, CT, and MRI, making it suitable for various security applications. 【0537】 The size of a TSA file varies greatly depending on several factors, including the scanner resolution, the number of slices acquired, the compression level applied, and the size of the luggage being scanned. Generally, CT scans generate many high-resolution images, so the file size can be very large. A single multi-image file for a CT scan ranges from several hundred kilobytes to several megabytes. Considering a scan of an entire piece of luggage, which may contain multiple files, the total size can easily reach tens of megabytes, and in some cases, hundreds of megabytes. 【0538】 Initial screening by FSSMS40 may be performed using large X-ray equipment (i.e., security screening imaging devices 45 and 50). These security screening imaging devices 45 and 50 are designed to detect a variety of substances, including explosives and other prohibited items. Baggage is screened with a dual-energy X-ray system, allowing security personnel to distinguish between organic and inorganic materials based on their atomic number. This enables the identification of potentially hazardous materials. If suspicious items are detected during the X-ray inspection, the baggage is separated for further inspection. This is usually done by trained security officers performing a physical inspection, which may also involve advanced scanning techniques such as CT (computed tomography) scanners. CT scanners can provide detailed 3D images of the baggage contents. In some cases, explosive trace detection devices (ETDs) may also be used. These devices can detect traces of explosives attached to the exterior or interior of baggage. The system works by wiping the baggage or items and analyzing the wipe samples to detect explosive residues. 【0539】 Baggage items in which explosives or certain dangerous materials are detected will be prohibited from boarding the aircraft. Security screening imaging devices 45 and / or 50 may detect substances or chemicals that are not dangerous on their own but may be dangerous when combined. After moving to a second means of transport, these substances or chemicals may be intentionally or accidentally mixed. In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 may request that the FSSMS 40 provide a list of all detected chemicals and their quantities associated with the articles in the baggage item. 【0540】 The items permitted in checked baggage stored in the cargo hold of an airline carrier may differ from those permitted in baggage on a cruise ship (i.e., Mode 2 Transport System (SMTS) 1680A). This is partly because, during a passenger's flight, they cannot access weapons in their checked baggage while it is in the cargo hold. However, on a cruise ship, baggage items are delivered to passengers' cabins, and passengers have direct access to weapons during the voyage, which could pose a threat to other passengers. 【0541】 As a non-limiting example, security screening imaging devices 45 and / or 50 may receive a primary ID transmitted from the baggage handling system. In one example, the primary ID may be a TSA-compatible number that the baggage handling system needs to transmit to security screening imaging devices 45 and 50 to identify baggage items. The primary ID may be a pseudo-ID. The primary ID may be stored with the security screening image in the memory device 113 and linked to the image. 【0542】 In one or more embodiments, image criteria associated with security screening imaging devices 45 and 50 may be stored and linked together with security screening images of baggage items in the memory device 113. 【0543】 In one or more embodiments, an algorithm can be run on security images to generate a list of contents within baggage items. The content lists associated with security screening images captured by the screening imaging devices 45 and 50 may be stored and linked together with the security screening images in the memory device 113. The content lists may include searchable machine-readable coded text for prohibited items in a second means of transport. In this case, the content lists are searched instead of visually inspecting the security screening images. This limits the amount of data that needs to be transmitted between computing devices and saves computer processing time. By using content lists, baggage handling in a second means of transport can be omitted if the contents of baggage items under the control of a trusted custodian are fully known in advance. In one or more embodiments, one or more contents may be identified as being combinable to produce explosives or other dangerous goods. 【0544】 Depending on the mode of transport, baggage items may be screened by, for example, ISSS1670A, 1670B, 1670C, and 1670D. ​​Each ISSA1670A, 1670B, 1670C, and 1670D may include an SS computer station 1072A and a security screening device 1072B, as described in relation to ISSS1070 in Figure 10A. The SSIA system 190 may be configured to interface with ISSS1670A, 1670B, 1670C, and 1670D, as described in more detail in relation to methods 1000A and 1000B in Figures 10A and 10B. 【0545】 The items a traveler is permitted to carry in checked baggage on an air flight may differ from those permitted on a ship. For example, some weapons may be permitted to be checked in and transported in the cargo hold of an aircraft. However, on a cruise ship, the owner of the baggage has access to the weapon during the voyage, posing a risk of danger. Specific lists of prohibited items vary by cruise company, but common items permitted on an aircraft but prohibited on a cruise ship include, for example: 【0546】 Alcohol: Many cruise liners have strict policies regarding personal alcohol consumption on board. While you can carry a limited amount of alcohol in checked baggage on airplanes, cruise liners often limit or restrict the amount you can bring on board. 【0547】 Power strips: Power strips, surge protectors, and extension cords are usually permitted in carry-on or checked baggage, but are prohibited on many cruise ships due to the risk of fire. 【0548】 Ironing clothes: Ironing clothes is usually permitted in checked baggage on airplanes, but is often prohibited on cruise ships. Cruise ships usually provide laundry services with irons or self-service laundry facilities. 【0549】 Inflatable swimming rings: While permitted on airplanes, they may not be allowed on cruise ships due to pool space limitations and safety concerns. 【0550】 Drones: While some airlines allow them as carry-on or checked baggage, most cruise ships prohibit them for safety and privacy reasons. 【0551】 Hoverboards and similar devices: They are usually permitted on aircraft if they meet specific battery requirements. However, they are prohibited on many cruise ships due to fire hazards and safety concerns. 【0552】 Sports equipment: Certain sports equipment, such as baseball bats and golf clubs, may be permitted as checked baggage on airplanes, but may be restricted or prohibited on cruise ships. 【0553】 Weapons: Some cruise companies restrict firearms, knives, large scissors, and pepper spray. Small grooming scissors may be permitted. 【0554】 Similarly, certain items permitted on aircraft may be prohibited or restricted on rail. For example: 【0555】 Oversized baggage: Airlines usually allow checked baggage within size and weight limits, but trains often have stricter size restrictions or limited storage space for oversized suitcases. 【0556】 Bicycles: Many airlines allow bicycles as checked baggage, but not all trains allow them, and reservations or additional fees may be required. 【0557】 Sports equipment: Certain sports equipment, such as surfboards, skis, and golf clubs, that are permitted as checked baggage on airplanes may be restricted or prohibited on trains. 【0558】 Camping equipment: Camping equipment such as portable stoves, fuel canisters, and tents with pegs may be permitted as checked baggage on airplanes, but may be restricted or prohibited on trains. 【0559】 Musical Instruments: Airlines often allow musical instruments as carry-on or checked baggage, but some trains may have size and weight restrictions on these items. 【0560】 Hazardous materials: Items such as flammable liquids, compressed gases, and corrosive substances may be permitted in limited quantities on aircraft, but are subject to stricter regulations on trains. 【0561】 On buses, it may be prohibited to bring one or more of the items and substances listed above, or any other items and substances. 【0562】 Hotels and resorts may prohibit bringing in one or more of the items and substances listed above, or any other items and substances. 【0563】 The examples in this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting in any sense. As can be understood from this disclosure, it is not practical to cover the rules of every mode of transport and form of travel worldwide. 【0564】 Rules and regulations may vary depending on the government agencies and countries through which a journey passes. Rules and regulations may limit or prohibit the quantity of currency, agricultural products, food, and other items listed on the prohibited list in any mode of transport. 【0565】 The baggage screening process on cruise ships (i.e., SMTS1680A) is similar to that at airports, but with some differences due to the specifics of sea travel. SMTS1680A may include one or more server or computer systems 1675A. When passengers arrive at the cruise terminal, their baggage is checked in and tagged. These passengers arrive by car and carry their baggage items by hand. 【0566】 The baggage may then pass through the Integrated Security Screening Station (ISSS) 1670A (i.e., ISS 1070 in Figure 10A). As shown in Figure 10A, the security screening device 2672B may be identical to, for example, either one or both of the imaging devices 45 and 50. 【0567】 The process described here applies to baggage items that have been pre-screened for security and for which follow-along security images and data files are available for sharing for the first stage of security screening analysis. Other baggage items that do not have follow-along security images and data files are processed by security screening device 1072B to determine whether the baggage item clears the security screening process. 【0568】 In the integrated security screening process, the SSIA system 190 may be configured to support the ISSS 1670A by acquiring tracking security images and data and interfaceing with trusted custodians who hand over baggage items from the airline carrier to the SMTS. This maintains a chain of security management by trusted custodians. In this way, the tracking security images and data acquired by the SSIA system 190 are assembled and transmitted to the ISSS 1670A, enabling the SS computer station 1072A to perform a first-stage security screening analysis for the second or subsequent mode of transport regarding prohibited items related to regulations or rules of government agencies or security facilities associated with the cruise ship. If baggage items are cleared in the baggage item screening by the first-stage security screening analysis for the second mode of transport, the SSIA system receives information related to the pass / fail status of the baggage screening. The SSIA system 190 may be updated with handler devices and / or scanning devices for sorting and handling baggage items, as described in relation to Figure 10B. In a cruise ship environment, if baggage fails security screening, the baggage items are transferred to security screening device 1072B for a second stage of security analysis for a second mode of transport. Once the baggage clears the second stage of security screening, the SSIA system 190 updates the route information for delivering the baggage items to a cabin or guest room, either independently of or in parallel with the passenger. 【0569】 Triggers for acquiring tracking security images and data can be obtained from the airline's flight manifest, Type B messages such as termination BSMs, scanning of IATA license plates, or access to PNR112 movement data. However, as explained in relation to Figure 2C, this process is intended to perform file transfers without requiring the transmission of passenger personally identifiable information (PII). Optionally, the passenger's name can be transmitted, as it is visible on the departure hard copy baggage tag, bingo tag, or other markers affixed to baggage items by the airline. 【0570】 If tracking security images and data analysis reveal that a baggage item cannot clear the ISSS1670A, the ISSS1670A's security screening device 1072B then scans the baggage item to detect prohibited items, ranging from weapons and explosives to prohibited items such as alcohol and irons (not limited to examples). If a baggage item triggers an alarm during the X-ray scan, that item is set aside for further inspection. This is usually done manually by security personnel. In addition to the initial baggage item screening, passengers and their carry-on items are also screened before boarding the ship. This is typically done using walk-behind metal detectors and X-ray equipment, similar to those used at airport security checkpoints. 【0571】 Security screening procedures in railway systems (i.e., SMTS1680B) vary considerably depending on the country and specific railway service. SMTS1680D may include one or more server or computer systems 1675C. SMTS1680B may include ISSS1670B (i.e., ISSS1070 in Figure 10A), which performs some form of security screening on both passengers and baggage. In some cases, ISSS1670B conducts random inspections, with security personnel selecting baggage to be inspected using handheld metal detectors or portable X-ray devices. In other cases, ISSS1670B may inspect all baggage using fixed X-ray devices, such as those used in airports or cruise terminals. More thorough screening procedures may be employed in situations requiring high security or in international train services. ISSS1670B may also use explosive detection systems, detection dogs, and even CT scanners. In addition, passengers may also be screened using metal detectors and body scanners. 【0572】 Security screening procedures in bus transport systems (i.e., SMTS1680C) vary considerably and are regulated by the TSA in the United States. SMTS1680C may include ISSS1670C, which involves some form of security screening on both passengers and their baggage. SMTS1680C may include one or more servers or computer systems 1675C. 【0573】 Security screening procedures at accommodation facilities (i.e., SMTS1680D) vary considerably and may be defined by self-regulation and / or government regulations. In one or more embodiments, accommodation facilities may provide a self-screening security process that includes, for example, a third-party screening agency, local police authorities, or employed security guards. SMTS1680D may include ISSS1670D, which implements some form of security screening on both passengers and their baggage entering the accommodation facility. In some cases, passengers and their baggage enter a hotel connected to an airport under the jurisdiction of the TSA or other government agency. In some cases, there may be direct access from the hotel to a theme park, such as the Star Wars Hotel at Disneyland in Orlando, Florida. SMTS1680D may include one or more servers or computer systems 1675D. 【0574】 The SSIA system 190 may include one or more display devices 1660 or computing devices. For example, in one or more embodiments, human intervention in the loop can assist in retrieving files and transmitting those files to their respective ISSSs. The display device 1660 may be a standalone display device or a display device integrated into a computing device 2200, as described in relation to Figure 22. In another embodiment, a computing device with a display device 1660 can automate the process of retrieving tracking security images and data files and transmitting them to a designated workstation (i.e., SS computer station 1072A). In a non-limiting example, the tracking security images and data files may be transmitted to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine that processes the images and data files for regulations related to cruise ships, trains, hotels, buses, resorts, or combinations thereof. The AI ​​engine (i.e., SS computer station 1072A) automatically generates signals representing the results. 【0575】 The SSIA system 190 may include one or more server or computer systems 1650 that can communicate with the display device 1660 by wire or wireless connection, and a memory device 1655. Details of the one or more server or computer systems 1650 are described in relation to Figure 22. 【0576】 The SSIA system 190 may include an Enterprise Messaging System (EMS) 1657 for sending Short Message Service (SMS) messages regarding the status and location of baggage items to the computing devices of designated baggage handlers. 【0577】 The SSIA system 190 can receive information from a computing device 1602 associated with a trigger related to a registered passenger using the baggage handling service. This registration information may include, for example, flight information such as airline, flight details, country, departure airport, itinerary confirmation number or passenger name record (PNR) number, and passenger name. Other registration information that passengers can enter may include information related to a second mode of transport, such as a cruise ship reservation, train reservation, bus reservation, or accommodation reservation. This information may be collected prior to the travel date on the first mode of transport. 【0578】 The registration information is used by the SSIA system 190 to generate route information from the manifest. In one or more embodiments, the manifest may be for a single second mobile vehicle or a second mobile vehicle by multiple carriers. In one embodiment, the analysis cannot begin until after the FSSMS 40 has completed security screening image processing or after the airline carrier 20 or 22 has taken off with baggage items and passengers on board. In other embodiments, the analysis is triggered by a termination type B message shown in Figure 1A. 【0579】 In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 can screen baggage items of passengers arriving at a hotel or resort on an airline flight, regardless of whether baggage is handled by the system 100. The SSIA system 190 can issue a warning to the SMTS 1680D for prohibited items, prohibited substances, or combinations of substances that may be hazardous. 【0580】 In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 is part of the SMTS 1680A and may perform analysis on only cruise ships of one or more cruise ship companies. 【0581】 In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 is part of the SMTS 1680B and may perform analysis on only trains in one or more railway systems. 【0582】 In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 is part of the SMTS 1680C and may perform analysis on only buses of one or more bus transport companies. 【0583】 In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 is part of the SMTS1680D and may perform analysis on only one or more company accommodations / resorts. 【0584】 In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 may be part of the FMTS 10. 【0585】 In one or more embodiments, the SSIA system 190 may be a third-party vendor. 【0586】 The examples disclosed herein are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and are not limiting in any sense. As should be understood from this specification, it is impossible to describe all rules and regulations relating to all means of transport or travel worldwide. 【0587】 Figure 17A shows a GUI 1700A for acquiring at least one security screening image according to one embodiment. GUI 1700A may include a display window 1702 and data input tabs or buttons 1710 for navigation and control. GUI 1700A may include a country tab or button 1712 and a travel / screening means tab or button 1714. For example, GUI 1700A can receive the departure country of a second means of travel. When the country tab or button 1712 is selected, a drop-down menu or country list is automatically displayed. When a country is selected with a mouse or other user interface, that country is entered into the system. The travel / screening means tab or button 1714 lists either a second means of travel, including accommodations and resorts, or a second means of transport as specified herein. 【0588】 GUI1700A receives the type of second mode of transport, which allows it to obtain learning data regarding the regulations of the specified jurisdiction (i.e., country). If states, counties, cities, provinces, etc., exist, this information can be added. This gives the system access to the rules of all regulatory authorities. As mentioned above, the learning data for the list of prohibited items for the second mode of transport is obtained according to the country and government agency. 【0589】 For example, because CBP and / or the Coast Guard allow additional rules for cruise ships, GUI 1700A can receive the names of cruise ship companies via a company tab or button 1716. This allows one or more servers or computer systems 1650 to obtain training data related to the rules associated with those companies for use in baggage screening analysis. GUI 1700A can receive departure airport-related information via a departure airport tab or button 1718. Selecting the tab or button 1718 displays a dropdown list of selectable airports, or is automatically populated, for example, from communication 302. GUI 1700A may include an image selection tab or button 1720. A dropdown list of available images identified by an SSI file name or PID may be displayed as shown in Figures 9A to 9B. Any of the images can be selected. In one or more embodiments, a button 1722 may be used as an SSI file tab or button 1722. When a depersonalized baggage item manifest is loaded into the GUI, selecting the SSI file name tab or button 1722 displays a list of SSI file names within the manifest, for example, if the baggage item image data needs to be analyzed for different modes of transport or different countries. The user can select an SSI file name using the mouse or other user interface. The GUI may display selected unique identifiers (e.g., PID, license plate, PNR number, tracking device identifier, etc.) that are entered in field 1724 or obtained from the depersonalized baggage manifest or other files. 【0590】 In one or more embodiments, button 1722 may be used as a passenger name tab or button. Once the non-personalized data from the manifest is loaded into the GUI, a list of passenger names is displayed, allowing the user to select a passenger name and use that name to retrieve the passenger's SSI. As described in relation to Figures 23B and 24, the electronic passenger identification signature may be formed by generating a content list from the current SSI. 【0591】 Button 1722 is described as multi-functional, but the GUI may contain other selection buttons or tabs. 【0592】 For mishandled baggage items, the GUI may include a data field for passenger name input by the user or by scanning the passenger's identification (identification device). In a non-limiting example, the identification device may be a state-issued e-wallet or other e-wallet stored on a smartphone. Identification devices include driver's licenses, passports, and other government-issued identification documents. A scanner or electronic acquisition device may capture data from the identification device by scanning a barcode or performing optical character recognition. This data is entered into the GUI for verification, confirmation, or activation of the matching. 【0593】 In some embodiments, training data is created by visually browsing past SSIs and creating a content list for each past SSI. The collection of content lists gathered from past SSIs may be used to create training data and autonomously develop the current content list. 【0594】 Figure 17B shows the GUI 1700B of Figure 17A for screening at least one security screening image according to one embodiment. According to one or more embodiments, examples of prohibited items include weapons, alcohol bottles, irons, power strips, etc. Since Figure 17B is essentially identical to Figure 17A, only the differences will be described. In Figure 17B, exemplary PIDs and SSI filenames of images are shown in fields 1724 and 1720, respectively. 【0595】 Figure 17B shows image 1705 selected from the memory device of the FSSMS40. Image 1705 shows luggage 5 with a printed luggage tag (i.e., luggage tag 200) attached. Image 1705 shows, for example, X-ray image representations of objects 1730, 1735, and 1740. In this example, object 1730 is annotated with box 1732 indicating that it is a prohibited item (e.g., alcohol). Object 1735 is annotated with box 1737 indicating that it is a prohibited or dangerous item (e.g., a weapon). Object 1740 is annotated with box 1750 indicating that it is a prohibited item (e.g., an iron). For example, boxes 1732, 1737, and 1750 are autonomously annotated by image processing / machine learning or assigned by screening. 【0596】 Regarding prohibited substances, information can be obtained using mass / density calculations based on machine learning processes. 【0597】 According to one or more embodiments, a first moving means or a first screening means may provide a list of hazardous materials identified in the screening. Thus, once security screening images are obtained, a file or list of substances of detected hazardous materials is obtained. For example, some weapons are manufactured using 3D printing. However, bullets containing gunpowder may exist. Thus, a list of bullets, gunpowder, or combinations thereof may be identified. 【0598】 According to one or more embodiments, a first transport means or a first screening means may provide a list of substances or chemicals that are individually non-hazardous. However, when one or more substances or chemicals that are specific non-hazardous are combined, the resulting solution may become, for example, a hazardous or explosive substance. 【0599】 In one or more embodiments, the GUI 1700B may include a control button 1760 that initiates a search for prohibited objects and substances using a machine learning detection algorithm, including machine learning object detection. In one or more embodiments, the screener performs the screening itself by reviewing images on the screen and comparing them with prohibited images, as described in detail, for example, in relation to Figure 17C. 【0600】 In one or more embodiments, the GUI 1700B may include an analysis result indicator 1765. In one or more embodiments, the indicator 1765 allows the user to input a mark in the analysis result manifest indicating either security compliance of the baggage items during transport on the second transport, transport or screening means, or security non-compliance of the baggage items during transport on the second transport, transport or screening means. This information is then communicated to a trusted handler of those baggage items marked as having security compliance on the second transport, transport or screening means, enabling them to bypass subsequent security screening by the second security screening device system of the second transport, second transport, or second screening means. 【0601】 In one or more embodiments, baggage items that have passed security screening and are arriving from another country for a transfer may be exempt from security screening at the second mode of transport. 【0602】 Furthermore, passengers can save time in customs queues by using the "Global Entry Mobile" application provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) (available for mobile devices on the Google Play Store, Apple Store, or other authorized software vendors). Use of this application requires active membership in the CBP Global Entry program. For example, travelers entering the U.S. at one of its ports of entry will have a selfie taken for identification. Users will be provided with a code to expedite the CBP process, which they will use within the app. The same code can also be used to release baggage items that have passed transit mode analysis and bypass security checks at the next mode of transport. In this case, baggage items remain under trusted control until they are handed over to the next mode of transport. 【0603】 Figure 17C shows the GUI 1700C of Figure 17A, in which a screener screens at least one security screening image according to one embodiment. Since GUI 1700C is similar to GUI 1700B, only the differences will be described. In this example, the scanner can place boxes 1732, 1737, and 1750 around areas suspected of containing prohibited objects by annotating the image using, for example, a mouse, finger, or other instrument. Additional annotations can also be added using a touchscreen display device. 【0604】 GUI1700C may include at least one row 1726 and multiple prohibited objects or substances 1727. Prohibited objects or substances 1727 may take the form of icons or images. Clicking any icon or image within row 1726 may display a dropdown list of other prohibited objects or substances of different shapes or styles. GUI1700C may include an arrow 1728 in row 1726. When the arrow 1728 is selected, the image scrolls out of view to reveal additional images or icons of prohibited items. 【0605】 GUI1700C may include a security analysis result indicator selection unit 1767. In one or more embodiments, the indicator selection unit 1767 allows the user to mark a manifest for a security analysis result that indicates either security compliance of the baggage item in the second means of transport, movement, or screening means (e.g., selection of "pass") or security non-compliance of the baggage item in the second means of transport, movement, or screening means (e.g., selection of "fail"). 【0606】 Figures 18A and 18B show flowcharts of method 1800 for screening in a second moving means according to one embodiment. 【0607】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include, in block 1802, displaying graphical user interfaces (GUIs) 1700A, 1700B, and 1700C on a display device 1660 by a computer system 1650. This allows Method 1800 to analyze security screening images from the first mode of transport for each baggage item traveling on an airline that matches the manifest of the second mode of transport, requiring security screening of checked baggage items (tagged with unique identifiers). In some embodiments, the manifest data of the second mode of transport may optionally include an unpersonalized baggage item manifest to conceal the passenger's identity during the security screening process. 【0608】 In one or more embodiments, method 1800 may include, in block 1804, a computer system or server 1650 of system 190 identifying in GUI 1700A, 1700B, and / or 1700C a unique identifier (i.e., PID) in a manifest associated with a checked baggage item traveling on a corresponding air carrier that has checked baggage to be rescreened by a second means of transport, a second means of movement, or a second screening means. In one or more embodiments, the second screening means may be independent of the means of movement or transport. 【0609】 According to one or more embodiments, method 1800 may include, in block 1806, a computer system 1650 accessing, via GUIs 1700A, 1700B, and / or 1700C, stored security screening images of a passenger's checked baggage items captured by a first security screening machine system associated with a first means of transport screening, a second means of transport screening, or a first screening means, from at least one memory storage device. 【0610】 In one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include, in Block 1808, having a computer system or server of System 190 display at least one of the stored screening images of a passenger's baggage item on at least one display device 1660 via GUIs 1700A, 1700B, and / or 1700C, and analyzing the accessed at least one stored screening image in accordance with rules and regulations relating to a second means of transport or screening. In one or more embodiments, at least one of the stored screening images of baggage contents includes a three-dimensional representation of an object within the baggage item. 【0611】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include, in Block 1810, receiving a mark in the manifest of an analysis result representing either security compliance of a baggage item in transit on a second transport, movement or screening means, or security non-compliance of a baggage item in transit on a second transport, movement or screening means, via GUI 1700A, 1700B, and / or 1700C by a computer system or server of System 190. As a result, baggage items marked as having security compliance on a second transport, movement or screening means receive trusted handling and bypass subsequent security screening by a second security screening machine system on a second transport, movement or screening means. 【0612】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include updating a manifest using an IATA license plate or unique identifier by a computer system. 【0613】 After review and analysis, once the results are obtained, the image data may be deleted or access to the image may be denied. Furthermore, the PID and SSI file names may be deleted to prevent access to the image. 【0614】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include, by a computer system, accessing a Destination Printed Baggage Tag Identifier (OP-BTI) associated with checked baggage from either a computer system associated with each airline or a computer system associated with stored security screening images, and updating the manifest with the OP-BTI by the computer system. For example, the OP-BTI may be an IATA license plate. The system may restore the OP-BTI to track baggage items outside of airport infrastructure. However, security image data may be inaccessible. 【0615】 According to one or more embodiments, the method 1800 may include receiving updated reservation information relating to the passenger's second means of transport or mobility by a second computer system relating to the second means of transport or mobility. 【0616】 According to one or more embodiments, method 1800 may include updating a manifest with updated reservation information relating to the passenger's second means of transport by a second computer system associated with the second means of transport. 【0617】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include triggering a communication from a second computing system to the acquisition device, in response to the acquisition of an IATA license plate by the acquisition device, which includes updated reservation information for the second means of transport or mobility. 【0618】 According to one or more embodiments, method 1800 may include displaying updated reservation information for a second means of transport or mobility on a display device of the acquisition device. 【0619】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include receiving annotations from a computer system using a GUI to highlight at least one object that caused the security compliance result to be negative. 【0620】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include electronically transmitting a message to the baggage owner indicating whether the security compliance result for the second means of transport or movement is positive or negative. This can be achieved by EMS 1657. 【0621】 According to one or more embodiments, Method 1800 may include, by computer system 1650, including in a message to the baggage owner a description selected from a standardized array of descriptions relating to negative security compliance consequences. An example message is shown in Figure 21. 【0622】 According to one or more embodiments, method 1800 may include transferring an annotated image of the object that caused the negative security compliance result to a security screening agency on a second means of transport. For example, the screener of display device 1660 can take a screenshot and transmit the screenshot via one or more computing systems...
