Sets forth agreement considerations, including that: (1) such a system can always be improved after deployment; (2) there is no upper limit to the functionality that can be incorporated; (3) there are operational differences between primary and secondary screening procedures; (4) delaying deployment to increase functionality may limit the ability to screen passengers and cargo for radiological and nuclear material; and (5) the consequences of radiological or nuclear terrorism would be catastrophic.

Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop quantitative metrics that consider threats materials, masking scenarios, and cost-benefit analysis to demonstrate the effectiveness of deploying ASP in primary and secondary screening sites.

Permits the Secretary, in determining whether to certify that ASP shows a significant increase in operational effectiveness, to consider: (1) relevant reports on ASP from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published before this Act's enactment; and (2) assessments of ASP by the Independent Review Team lead by the Homeland Security Institute and in consulation with the National Archives.

Directs the Secretary to develop quantitative metrics that demonstrate any significant increased operational effectiveness of deploying ASP in primary and secondary screening sites. Requires such metrics to include: (1) a quantitative definition of "significant increase in operational effectiveness"; (2) all relevant threat materials; (3) all relevant masking scenarios; and (4) cost-benefit analysis in accordance with the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Permits the Secretary, in determining whether to certify that ASP shows a significant increase in operational effectiveness, to consider: (1) relevant reports on ASP from the Government Accountability Office (GAO); and (2) assessments of ASP by the Independent Review Team led by the Homeland Security Institute in consultation with the National Archives.

Authorizes appropriations to the Director for FY2009 and for each subsequent fiscal year for the Securing the Cities Initiative.
