TSA’s Risk-Based Security Initiatives

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.

Slide 3

Context of a Layered Approach to Aviation SecurityIf TSA can confirm a person’s identity and learn more about them through information they opt to provide, in combination with our other layers of security, physical screening can be expedited for many people.

Risk-Based Passenger Security OverviewTSA is undertaking efforts to provide the most effective security in the most efficient way and improve the passenger experience at airport security checkpoints by applying an intelligence-driven risk-based approach.

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

Expedited Screening Entry Points

Slide 5

There are several ways to receive the expedited screening experience including:

• TSA Pre ™ available at 40 airports, expanding to 100 by end of 2013✓

• DoD available at 10 airports

• CBP Trusted Travelers including Global Entry, SENTRI and NEXUS

• Certain frequent flyers

• Known Crew Member available at 29 airports

• 12 & Under, 75 & Older

TSA Pre ™ Expedited Screening Initiatives ✓

TSA Pre ™ ✓

Passengers become eligible for expedited screening to access TSA Pre™ expedited screening lanes through various mechanisms including membership in U.S. Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler programs or through partner airlines by meeting TSA established frequent flyer eligibility and opt-in criteria. If TSA determines a passenger is qualified, the low- risk status designation is embedded in the passenger’s boarding pass. By placing more focus on prescreening, TSA is able to expedite physical screening for known passengers while increasing system-wide effectiveness.

Over 13 million TSA Pre™ passengers have been screened to date.

DoD CAC Card Active Duty Military Members, Reserve and National Guard may receive TSA Pre ™ screening at 10 ✓airports by presenting their DOD Common Access Card (CAC) card to be scanned.

473, 599 have been screened since November 2011. The program is currently pursuing a list-based DoD solution which does not require a CAC card to be scanned. This will enable active duty military to access TSA Pre ™ at all 40 airports. ✓

Slide 6

The TSA Pre ™ Application Process will allow pre-approved, low-risk travelers, to experience ✓expedited screening at TSA Pre ™ airports. The TSA Pre ™ Application Program will be available in ✓ ✓Fall 2013.

Fee Based Program - Anticipated to be $85

5 year validity - Similar to CBP Trusted Traveler programs

Available to U.S. citizens - U.S. Passport will not be required

•Members will be assigned a Known Traveler Number (KTN)

•The Application process is a two step process • 1.) Apply online 2.) visit an enrollment center to complete process

•The initial two airport enrollment sites will be located at IAD and IND (Fall 2013)

•Enrollment sites will be expanded in a phased approach nationwide

TSA Pre™ Application Process

TSA Pre™ Passenger Experience at the Airport

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

TSA will always incorporate random and 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

Slide 8

TSA Pre™ Airline Participation TSA currently partners with six airlines to provide TSA Pre ™ by putting the low-risk ✓designation in the barcode of the boarding pass. In addition, Southwest Airlines, Hawaiian and JetBlue are anticipated to participate in TSA Pre ™ by the end of Calendar Year ✓2013.

Slide 9

Currently, Delta, United, American, US Airways and Hawaiian Airlines provide a TSA Pre ™ indicator on ✓boarding passes.

Additionally, TSA is partnering with additional airlines to update their systems to include printing the TSA Pre ™ indicator on the face of the boarding pass.✓

Other Expedited Screening Initiatives

Initiative Description and Status (As of August 2013)

Known Crew Member

Initiative pursued jointly by Airlines for America (A4A), Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) and the Transportation Security Administration that allows Flight Deck crew members to enter the sterile airport area through specific designated crew access points using alternate screening procedures.

KCM average daily volume is 30,000. Over 8 million have been screened since the program started in August 2011. Currently at 29 airports with expansion plans underway.

Children 12 and under

Modified screening procedures at all airports (not just TSA Pre ™ airports) for passengers 12 years of age ✓and younger that allows them to keep their shoes on.

Since this nationwide initiative started in August 2011, over 45 million children have been screened.

Passenger 75 and older

Modified screening procedures at all airports (not just TSA Pre ™ airports) enabling passengers 75 and ✓older to keep shoes and light outer garments on during screening process.

Since this nationwide initiative started in March 2012, over 20 million adults 75 and older have been screened.
