| Summary / Zusammenfassung | The relevance of human factors in aviation security has increased dramatically in recent years. On of the most important tasks is the visual inspection of passenger bags using x-ray machines. In this project we use modern detection theories to measure competency and performance of airport security x-ray operators with computer-based tests and threat image projection technology.
