[QUOTE]Originally posted by rpmacs: [QB] The Coalition for Luggage Security Looking for Real Change Tuesday August 23, 11:47 am ET NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2005--The Coalition for Luggage Security today commented on nine new high-tech airport security systems that will be installed to help reduce lost luggage and reduce terror threats. ADVERTISEMENT According to Las Vegas Business Press, McCarran International Airport is one of nine U.S. airports installing new high-tech equipment to reduce human contact with baggage as it moves from travelers through security to airplanes. The $125 million system, which is expected to be completed by the end of next summer, is expected to reduce the volume of lost luggage, which cost the nation's airlines and airports about $1 billion last year. http://www.lvbusinesspress.com/articles/2005/08/22/news/news04.txt The system is expected to have four miles of conveyor belts traveling through six separate sectors, covering 225,000 square feet. Each sector is expected to process about 40 bags a minute. "Reminiscent of the Denver International Airport luggage system that took a decade to build and fail, never living up to its $230 million potential, and being scrapped by United Airlines in June of 2005. The newest security and luggage handling system is just another way of doing the same old thing. The Coalition for Luggage Security has an alternative that is currently working for travelers who use services such as Luggage Express, and having their luggage delivered to their destination and avoiding long security lines," said Harvey Abelson, the Coalition for Luggage Security Coordinator.

Remove the extra space if one exists.) "One billion dollars a year in lost luggage is far too great a number. Now, the TSA will be picking up 75% of the bill for installing these luggage and security systems in just 9 U.S. airports. That's $93 million of taxpayers dollars going to a system that as Aviation industry consultant Mike Boyd says, 'It's eyewash for the public to think we're safer.' We don't need 4 miles of conveyor belts. We already use conveyor belts and we don't need a bigger system that basically does the same thing with a few changes. What we need is real change; A system that will not take dollars out of taxpayer's pockets. What we need is a totally new system and that system is keeping luggage off of passenger planes and delivering it on cargo planes," said Richard A. Altomare, Founder and Chairman of the Coalition for Luggage Security, and CEO of Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB:USXP - News). "Once again, keeping luggage off of passenger planes will help create jobs, reduce airline fees, greatly reduce the risk of terrorist activity on passenger planes, and reduce lost luggage claims that amount to $1 billion a year. This is an immediate solution. We call on all government representatives to view our white paper entitled 'More Safety, Less Hassle for American Travelers: A Private Sector Solution for the Airline Industry.' (http://www.usxp.com/securitywp.pdf). A new way of doing things is in the best interest of this country and its traveling public, not creating bigger, more expensive monsters that have to be justified and used, even if they don't work. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to create what is best for the public," concluded Mr. Altomare.
