FACILITY REQUIREMENTS »Three in-line TSA checked baggage screening lanes with room for a fourth and fifth »Outbound checked baggage screening facilities »TSA offices and support areas Overall, TSA space will become deficient by 420 sf over the 20-year planning period. This deficit is not associated with the security screening checkpoint (SSCP), but instead can be attributed entirely to forecast airline growth and the need for more outgoing checked baggage screening space. There are currently three Explosive Detection Systems (EDS) in place and analysis indicates the need for a fourth by PAL 3. The existing spaces are separated, shared by different airlines, and somewhat space restricted but functional. According to TSA equipment space sizing guidance, an additional 3,290 sf for baggage screening will be needed by PAL 3. The new security screening checkpoint is optimally sized throughout the planning period and has the necessary room (1,520 sf) to accommodate an increase of peak hour passenger activity. The queuing area is designed, and easily poised, to expand by simply adding new stanchions with retractable belt barriers. This flexibility allows the TSA SSCP queuing area to grow without intruding upon the primary landside circulation hall. In the meantime, this space can be used for additional landside circulation. TSA staff have an adequate amount of support space (breakrooms, training, and storage area) and offices are sufficient by an additional 820 sf through PAL 3. At the time of this writing, the TSA breakroom is planned to be moved into the lower level TSA office space area. The remaining upper level TSA support space is being planned for replacement offsite adjacent the current airport administration building. The deplaning sterile corridor used by passengers leaving the secure airside area for the unsecured landside facilities is also sufficient through the planning period. 3.6.2.3Concessions Space Concessions are amenities that are provided for the convenience of passengers by merchants or other service providers through a lease, rental agreement or other arrangement with the Airport. This agreement allows concession providers to offer that amenity on airport property, usually within the terminal. The operators of the concession typically pay the airport a fee or a share of the profits in order to have access to that airport’s passengers. If the airport is offering these goods or services directly to the passenger, it is considered an amenity rather than a concession. Concessions can be broken down into three general types: retail, food and drink, and other concessions (services, conference rooms, etc.) After the terror attacks of September 2001, passengers were encouraged to arrive at the airport earlier for security screening, creating a greater need for food, beverage and retail concessions on the secure side of the passenger security checkpoint. This is particularly true of those airports where the passenger security checkpoint is open during all operating hours of the terminal.
