La Transportation Security Administration met présentement à l'épreuve un système qui permettrait de réduire l'attente dans les aéroports...
""As with any initiative, we are testing this pre-screening concept with a small passenger population at limited airports," he said at an aviation security conference in the Netherlands. "If proven successful, we will explore expanding the program to additional travelers, airports and airlines."
All participants must be U.S. citizens, who voluntarily release certain information about themselves.
During its evaluation phase, "TSA PreCheck" will be available only to certain frequent fliers on American and Delta airlines -- flying out of certain airports. Delta passengers must be flying out of Atlanta and Detroit airports, and American Airlines passengers must be flying out of Miami and Dallas airports.
It also will be open to participants in Custom and Border Protection's Trusted Traveler programs, including Global Entry, SENTRI, and NEXUS.
The program won't guarantee expedited security screening, according to Pistole, who said participants would still be subject to "random and unpredictable security measures."
In July, the TSA said it would expand this pilot program to include United, Southwest, JetBlue, US Airways, Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian airlines, and additional airports, once operationally ready.
Currently, the TSA vets passenger lists against "watch lists" of known or suspected terrorists. But the TSA is working with a very limited amount of information about those passengers -- namely a person's full name, date of birth and gender. Under "trusted traveler" programs, travelers voluntarily surrender more information about themselves, giving the government more assurances of who they are.
The amount and nature of the information that will be sought was not disclosed."
