For example, the Transportation Security Administration is looking to a computer-dependent design method used in airframe manufacturing as a template for evaluating air travel risks. TSA, a Homeland Security Department agency, has recently announced plans to enter into a no-fee agreement with Boeing, under which the company would build a Risk Management Assessment Tool, or RMAT, for the commercial aviation system using what’s known as the Monte Carlo model.
