Developing strategies to effectively and efficiently screen passengers can be quite challenging. Moreover, even after such systems are in place, it can be very difficult to measure their effectiveness. The Multilevel Allocation Problem (MAP) models the screening of passengers and baggage in a multilevel aviation security system. A passenger is screened by one of several classes, each of which corresponds to a set of procedures using security screening devices, where passengers are differentiated by their perceived risk levels. The objective of MAP is to assign each passenger to a class such that the total security is maximized subject to assignment and budget constraints. Theoretical and experimental results are presented. The analysis of computational examples suggests that fewer security classes for passenger screening provide effective screening. Results are also presented for two related knapsack variations.
