Electronic Baggage Screening Program (EBSP) October 1, 2011:
As a result of declining budgets and a large amount of our equipment reaching its end of lifecycle, EBSP is shifting its priority to Recapitalization in order to address our aging EDS fleet. As we move forward, we will be funding In-Line Baggage Systems on a case by case basis and according to the availability of funds.
