TSARisk-Based Security

Layered Security ApproachTSA uses layers of security as part of a risk-based approach to protecting passengers and our nation’s transportation systems. Multiple layers combine to create a much stronger system.

Although checkpoint operations are the most visible layer, they represent just one part of TSA’s security system.

Risk-Based Passenger Security Overview

In September 2011, TSA began undertaking efforts to adopt an intelligence-driven and risk-based approach to passenger screening with the aim of providing the most effective security in the most efficient way while improving the passenger experience at airport security checkpoints.

1. The majority of airline passengers are low risk. 2. The more information available on each passenger, the easier it is

to assess risk. 3. Behavior detection and interviewing techniques should be

strengthened in the screening process. 4. TSA must accelerate its efforts to optimize screening processes and

the use of technology to gain system-wide efficiencies. 5. Increase security by focusing on unknowns; expedite

known/trusted travelers.

Guiding Principles of Risk-Based Security

TSA Pre™ Passenger Experience at the Airport

TSA Pre™ Experience Quicker transit through lanes Quicker lines Improved customer experience

TSA will always incorporate unpredictable security measures throughout the airport and no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening.

1. Access the TSA Pre™ lane (children age 12 and under traveling with a parent or guardian)

2. Present boarding pass and ID to the Travel Document Checker3. Scan barcode and boarding pass 4. If directed by the Travel Document Checker, proceed through the TSA

Pre™ lane where you will receive expedited screening

TSA Pre™ Airline Participation TSA currently partners with nine airlines to provide TSA Pre ™ by putting the low-risk ✓designation in the barcode of the boarding pass.

The TSA Pre ™ application program is a DHS Trusted Traveler program that allows pre-✓approved, low-risk travelers the opportunity to apply for expedited screening at participating U.S. airports without the use of a passport to apply.

How it works:

Available to U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents - U.S. Passport will not be required

Interested applicants will be able to apply online or at application enrollment centers

Interested applicants pay an application fee of $85.00 at their in-person enrollment

Likelihood of getting TSA Pre ™✓

• Passengers with Known Traveler Numbers (KTN) are more likely to be eligible for TSA Pre ™ screening ✓

• Eligible Airline Frequent Flyers can expect to receive TSA Pre ™ screening more ✓often than passengers who have not been invited to participate, but less often than those who have been assigned a KTN

• TSA Initiatives such as Airport Assessments and Standard Pre-Screening activities help to identify eligible passengers on a flight-by-flight basis

Known Traveler Number (KTN)Individuals who enroll via the TSA Pre ™ application process will be assigned a Known ✓Traveler Number (KTN).

To receive expedited screening in TSA Pre™ lanes travelers may enter their KTN by either:• Adding the KTN during the flight reservation booking process• Saving their KTN in their Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest, United, US Airways, or

Virgin America frequent flyer account profile• Providing the KTN to their travel management company for entry into their reservation

Slide 16

Known Traveler Number (KTN)• TSA receives reports of passengers not receiving TSA Pre ™ status as a result of a missing Known

Traveler Number (KTN) in the passenger data sent to Secure Flight.

• One cause of a missing KTN is an incorrectly formatted SSR DOCO entry (automated or manual)*.
