A snap-on sidewall assembly is provided for attachment to an airframe of an aircraft. The snap-on sidewall assembly includes an outer rail member that has a mounting portion for attachment to the airframe. The outer rail member has at least one recess integrally formed therein and at least one outer support flange extending from the recess. Each recess is adapted for engaging at least one protrusion integrally formed within an inner rail member. The integral inner rail member further includes at least one inner support flange extending from the protrusion. Finally, the snap-on sidewall assembly includes at least one sidewall panel. Each sidewall panel has an end portion that is, intended to be sandwiched between one of the outer support flanges and one of the inner support flanges.

The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: defining a custom bar code template for a plurality of forms of like items differing with respect to a characteristic thereof; and storing the defined custom bar code template in a custom bar code template file. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of defining a custom bar code template includes the steps of: identifying the bar codes of each form of the plurality of like items; determining a total digit length for the identified bar codes; defining an identifier portion of the determined total digit length; defining a fixed portion of the determined total digit length; and defining a variable portion of the determined total digit length. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of correlating the obtained bar code data to a custom bar code template stored in a custom bar code template file includes the steps of: determining if the defined identifier portion of the determined total digit length is equal to an equivalent identifier portion of the obtained bar code data; determining if the defined fixed portion of the determined total digit length is equal to an equivalent fixed portion of the obtained bar code data; and determining if a total digit length of the obtained bar code data equals the total digit length of the identified bar codes. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of defining a variable portion of the determined total digit length includes defining the variable portion of the determined total digit length as one of a zeroing out function and an omission function. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the step of altering values of a portion of the obtained bar code data in accordance with the correlated custom bar code template to obtain value altered bar code data includes the steps of: determining the function of the variable portion; and performing the determined function on the obtained value altered bar code data. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of using the value altered bar code data to retrieve security data for the scanned item from an item security database includes the step of retrieving weight as the security item. 8. The method of claim 1, further including the steps of: acquiring security characteristic data regarding the scanned item; and comparing the acquired security characteristic data regarding the scanned item with the retrieved security data for the scanned item from the item security database. 9. A checkout system comprising: a checkout terminal; a custom bar code template file in communication with said checkout terminal and containing a custom bar code template; and an item security database in communication with said checkout terminal and containing (i) a bar code entry for an item that varies with respect to a non-weight characteristic, and (ii) a security characteristic for the item corresponding to the bar code entry for that item; the checkout terminal having: a processor; a scanner in communication with said processor; an item security characteristic data acquisition device in communication with said processor; and memory in communication with said processor and containing processor-executable program instructions which, when executed by said processor, causes said checkout terminal to: scan an item to obtain a bar code data associated with the item; correlate the obtained bar code data to the custom bar code template in the custom bar code template file; alter values of a portion of the obtained bar code data in accordance with the correlated custom bar code template; and use the value altered bar code data to retrieve security characteristic data for the item from the item security database by correlating the value altered bar code data with the bar code entry in the item security database
