Abstract

A remote access security network is provided that comprises a local terminal receiving scan data representative of objects scanned during a security check. An enterprise server communicates with the local terminal. The enterprise server processes the scan data to form a displayable image and provides remote access to the displayable image upon request. A remote terminal located remote from the enterprise server and remote from the local terminal communicates with the enterprise server over a high-speed connection to provide remote review of the displayable image at the remote terminal associated with the scan data obtained at the local terminal. The enterprise server may include a passenger information interface configured to access a passenger information database having passenger information. The enterprise server may include a conferencing module for establishing a video conference between multiple remote terminals to permit operators of the multiple remote terminals to view simultaneously an individual, common scan image. The local terminal may include an instant-messaging module that, upon a command from a local operator, generates a review request that the enterprise server automatically routes from the local terminal to the remote terminal. The enterprise server may include an electronic unpacking module that, upon request from one of the local and remote terminal, removes portions of the scan image to expose interior items within the scan data.
