NO TRAVEL REQUIRED & LISTEN IN WHEN AND WHERE YOU WANT!
Passenger screening took center stage this year once the Transportation Security Administration decided it would begin pilot testing an intelligence-driven, risk-based approach to passenger screening at airport security checkpoints rather than the one-size fits all method currently in place.
The agency this fall launched the PreCheck program, a pilot program that enables select frequent fliers that the government continuously vets against terrorist watch lists to receive expedited screening at checkpoints at four U.S. airports. This approach enables agency screeners to focus more on potentially risky travelers.
TSA’s public discussion of its risk-based approach to passenger screening followed the release last December by the International Air Transport Association of its Checkpoint of the Future Concept, itself an intelligence-driven, risk-based approach to passenger screening.
IATA’s concept also includes separate lanes at the checkpoint to enable different levels of screening based on the risk associated with each passenger. These lanes, or “Tunnels of Truth,” envision the use of stand-off explosives detection technologies and other capabilities that would eventually speed the throughput of all passengers through the checkpoint, thereby improving their travel experience.
This timely webinar will cover:
- Work DHS S&T is doing to help bolster security at the passenger checkpoint
- Technology S&T is developing to enable security while improving the passenger experience
- Impediments to a speedier checkpoint
- How might TSA’s plans for risk-based screening affect future technology development and deployment?
