2. Layered Security Approach
TSA 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.

3. Guiding Principles of Risk-Based Security
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.
The majority of airline passengers are low risk.
The more information available on each passenger, the easier it is to assess risk.
Behavior detection and interviewing techniques should be strengthened in the screening process.
TSA must accelerate its efforts to optimize screening processes and the use of technology to gain system-wide efficiencies.
Increase security by focusing on unknowns; expedite known/trusted travelers.

8. TSA Pre™ For Members of the Military
TSA now offers TSA Pre✓™ expedited screening to members of the military at all participating TSA Pre✓™ airports when they use their Department of Defense (DoD) ID Number when making flight reservations.
How it works:

9. TSA Pre™ Application Program
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
The vetting process is expected to take 2-3 weeks at the end of which eligible applicants will receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN) via the U.S. Mail
The Known Traveler Number is valid for 5 Years
Eligible applicants are more likely to receive the TSA Pre✓™ experience on a more consistent and frequent basis

13. DHS Trusted Traveler Programs – Which is right for you?

14. 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

15. 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

16. Verify Standardized Automation Include Quality Assurance
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)*.
Best Practices:
*Note: Complete details (Definition, Construction Rules, and Components with the examples for both automated and non-automated formats) can be found in section of edition 37 of the A4A/IATA AIRIMP manual
