Some of the most important improvements I think are going to be on the actual throughput of passengers. The changes that have been proposed will allow us to increase the passenger throughput, which will allow us to reduce the waiting time for passengers as they go through the screening process. The process will be more efficient. The harmonization will allow for less confusion as to what is permitted and what is interdicted in the restricted area. It will allow, also, screening officers to concentrate more on some of the items we really want them to focus on, and that it is improvised explosive devices or any components that can be found in carry-on luggage.
