Method and system for improved security
First Claim
1. A method of evaluating a facility comprising:
- identifying components of said facility, said components optionally including associated security measures;
evaluating each component to determine an appropriate security level for that component; and
rating each component as a function of the security measures associated with said component.

Abstract
A comprehensive method and system for providing improved security at an existing facility or providing improved security in the design of a facility to be built. The system and method can be used to evaluate an existing facility in order to determines an overall rating for a particular facility and which can also be used identify individual or elemental weakness of the facility. The method and system can analyze the data gathered during the evaluation in order to determine remedial measures that can be used to improve the facility'"'"'s overall rating and strengthen the identified individual or elemental weaknesses. A comprehensive system that monitors the flow of people, vehicles, luggage, packages and airplanes in order to provide improved security is also disclosed.

37. A security system for a facility comprising:
-
a plurality of computer systems interconnected by a communication network for transmitting and receiving data over said network, a data storage device operatively connected with a first computer system for storing security information, said security information including stored attribute data representative of at least one attribute of a person or an object, a plurality of sensing devices operatively connected to said network for transmitting and receiving data over said network, said sensing devices being adapted to detect at least one attribute of a person or an object and being adapted for generating sensed attribute data representative of said at least one attribute; and
means for comparing said sensed attribute data with said stored attribute data.

38. An inter-facility security system comprising:
-
a plurality of facilities, each facility including at least one computer system connected to a common communication network for transmitting and receiving data over said communication network;
a central data storage system operatively connected to said communication network for storing security information, said security information including stored attribute data representative of at least one attribute of a person or an object, at least one of said plurality of facilities including at least on sensing device operatively connected said at least one computer system of said facility for transmitting and receiving data to and from said at least one computer system, said at least one sensing device being adapted to detect at least one attribute of a person or an object and being adapted for generating sensed attribute data representative of said at least one attribute; and
means for comparing said sensed attribute data with said stored attribute data.
