TEST AND EVALUATION PLAN FOR THE DUPE CHECKLIST SYSTEM (DCS)

This operational test and evaluation (OT&E) obtains data on passenger compliance and resource needed to distribute, collect and review a domestic airline passenger checklist. This checklist will determine whether the passenger may have been 'duped' into carrying unknown and potentially restricted baggage contents onto a domestic flight. This OT&E encompasses responses to a dupe checklist completed voluntarily by airline passengers, and the time required to distribute, collect, and review the checklist. These are data needed to estimate passenger compliance and the resources that an airline would have to allocate to distribute, collect and review the checklist.
