System and method for security data file sharing with screening contents image file

A system comprising:

• at least one memory storing one or more instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions, wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• obtain, from an electronic International Air Transportation Association (IATA) data message having a first message format or an electronic passenger list information message (PLIM) having a second message format, passenger data comprising a passenger name record (PNR) locator linked to a passenger, a passenger name of the passenger, and a unique baggage identifier for a checked-in luggage item of the passenger, wherein the passenger is check-in with an originating airline, and wherein the IATA data message or the electronic PLIM identify a flight carrying passengers that will disembark or transfer at a border crossing airport,
• retrieve, from a secure database stored in a non-transitory secure memory device, a security screening image (SSI) representative of contents within the checked-in luggage item, wherein the SSI is generated by a security screening imaging machine in an originating country and based on technology standards of a first level governed by a first security authority of the originating country,
• convert the SSI and at least a portion of the passenger data into SSI file sharing data of a structured data format for a security screening tool,
• transmit, through a first network interface of the system in communication with at least one of the at least one processor and a first communication network, the SSI file sharing data over the first communication network to a secure non-transitory memory system associated with the border crossing airport in a second country, wherein SSI file sharing data is configured to be used by a second security authority to perform a security screening process on the checked-in luggage item using the security screening tool, and wherein the second security authority is different from the first security authority;
• receive from the second security authority, through a second network interface of the system in communication with at least one of the at least one processor and a second communication network, a first screening message associated with a result of the security screening process, wherein the security screening process is based on the SSI file sharing data, and
• cause the result of the security screening process included in the first screening message to be displayed by a display device in near real time, wherein the result of the security screening process comprises one of:
• a first result representative of cleared security screening by the second security authority;
• or
• a second result representative of failed security screening by the second security authority, wherein one or more of the passenger or the checked-in luggage item that failed the security screening are flagged for further security inspection before being permitted to leave the border crossing airport or to transfer to a flight departing the border crossing airport.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute a method comprising:

• obtaining, by at least one of at least one processor, from an electronic International Air Transportation Association (IATA) data message having a first message format or an electronic passenger list information message (PLIM) having a second message format, passenger data comprising a passenger name record (PNR) locator linked to a passenger, a passenger name of the passenger, and a unique baggage identifier for a checked-in luggage item of the passenger, wherein the passenger is check-in with an originating airline, and wherein the IATA data message or the electronic PLIM identify a flight carrying passengers that will disembark or transfer at a border crossing airport;
• retrieving from a secure database stored in a non-transitory secure memory device, by at least one of the at least one processor, a security screening image (SSI) representative of contents within the checked-in luggage item, wherein the SSI is generated by a security screening imaging machine in an originating country and based on technology standards of a first level governed by a first security authority of the originating country;
• converting, by at least one of the at least one processor, the SSI and at least a portion of the passenger data, into SSI file sharing data of a structured data format for a security screening tool;
• transmitting, through a first network interface in communication with at least one of the at least one processor and a first communication network, the SSI file sharing data over the first communication network to a secure non-transitory memory system associated with the border crossing airport in a second country, wherein SSI file sharing data is configured to be used by a second security authority to perform a security screening process on the checked-in luggage item using the security screening tool, and wherein the second security authority is different from the first security authority;
• receiving from the second security authority, through a second network interface in communication with at least one of the at least one processor and a second communication network, a first screening message associated with a result of the security screening process, wherein the security screening process is based on the SSI file sharing data;
• and
• causing, by at least one of the at least one processor, the result of the security screening process included in the first screening message to be displayed by a display device in near real time, wherein the result of the security screening process comprises one of:
• a first result representative of cleared security screening by the second security authority;
• or
• a second result representative of failed security screening by the second security authority, wherein one or more of the passenger or the checked-in luggage item that failed the security screening are flagged for further security inspection before being permitted to leave the border crossing airport or to transfer to a flight departing the border crossing airport.
