Baggage source message generation with security information

Abstract

Disclosed methods and systems for handling luggage via baggage source message generation are disclosed. Various systems may include: a processor; and non-transitory, tangible memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing at least one instruction, and the processor being configured to execute the at least one instruction. The processor may obtain an International Air Transport Association (IATA) license plate number of the checked luggage item on an air carrier from one of a field in a first baggage information message, a computer system associated with an airline carrier being an originator of the IATA license plate or a manifest; and generate a second baggage information message that includes the IATA license plate number and at least one of a primary identifier (ID) from a baggage handling system that links to a security screening image of the checked luggage item or information associated with a contents list.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
