The Transportation Security Laboratory is a Department of
Homeland Security Federal Laboratory located at the William J.
Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City International Airport, N.J.,
and is a part of the Science and Technology Directorate of DHS. The
TSL enhances homeland security by performing research, development
and validation of solutions to detect and mitigate the threat of
improvised explosive devices. The TSL also does certification
testing for Explosive Detection Systems (EDS).
TSL has a rich history of successful product development and technology life cycle management. This consists of growing technology from conception to deployment, including applied research, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, certification, systems qualification, and laboratory assessment testing. The TSL is internationally recognized for its role in the development of standards, protocols and test articles necessary for detection technology assessments.
Mission
The mission of the Transportation Security
Laboratory (TSL) is to perform research and development (R&D)
to eliminate civil transportation security incidents. The
Transportation Security Research and Development Division is the
lead organization within the TSA responsible for R&D programs
related to civil transportation security. The mission is geared
towards anticipating future threats to civil transportation
security. In so doing, programs are conducted that accelerate and
expand promising technologies to the point of operational test and
evaluation. Technologies that have successfully gone through this
process have been passed to the Security Equipment Integrated
Product Team for deployment in our nation's airports. The research
and development goal is to develop systems that are fully
integrated into the aviation system; are highly automated,
utilizing the strengths of a variety of technologies; and are
geared to optimizing the screener's operational performance.

Method of analyzing tamper evident tape residue
Description:
Methods and systems for measuring the effectiveness of pigment transfer in a tamper evident tape. A test area can be established on a substrate upon which a residual image is formed by pulling a tamper-evident tape. The test area is divided into a predefined number of units. Then, the number of units in which a residual is left behind on a surface of the substrate can be counted and compared to the number of units within an area of un-applied tamper-evident tape of identical application design such that a percentage of units remaining on the substrate after removal of the tamper-evident tape with the residual comprises a criterion for evaluating a relative effectiveness of the tamper-evident tape.

System and method for viewing images on a portable image viewing device related to image screening
Description:
An image screening apparatus includes an image scanner that scans an object and generates an image of the object; at least one portable image viewing device; and a controller including circuitry configured to transmit the generated image to the at least one portable image viewing device, trigger display of the transmitted image on a screen of at least one of the portable image viewing devices, and match the displayed image with the scanned object. An area of interest of the scanned object can be displayed on one portable image viewing device by hovering the one portable image viewing device over the area of interest.
