Gregory Schaefer, Autoclear LLC

I’m a little nervous…

Kind of like waiting in line to get on the old wooden rollercoaster….

But then, you get on and everything is fine!

Should I really be doing this?

What’s In Your Bag?Using X-ray scanners to:• Execute more effective searches

• Enhance the “deterrent factor”

• Increase throughput into your venue

Presentation is difficult for me

• Normally, I can ask questions before presenting• I can determine what is important to you• I can develop a presentation that addresses your concerns• This presentation is based on my pre-conceived notions• If I did not address your concerns, please contact me for a personal

conversation• 847-815-8131 Mobile

What I learned about IAAPA Venues

• How you are just like everyone else- You have a concern about safety in your facility- You do not want to inconvenience visitors- You do not know if X-ray Security is right for you

• How you are different than everyone else- Your park is a fun place to go- Throughput is a major issue- Item recognition should be the major focus of your training- Your list of un-allowed items is substantially different- There is a good chance you will be outdoors

The Screening Process

• There are only two rules for your personnel:

2. If you can’t be sure there are no threats present, you must do a hand search

1. You don’t have to identify everything in the bag; you just have to be sure there are no threats present

• Why you will see increased throughput:

- Bags are classified into three categories:

The Screening Process

#1

NO THREAT

#2

OBVIOUS THREAT

#3

POSSIBLE THREAT

The Screening Process – increased throughput using an X-ray#1
