  1. TSA, Moving Forward with Risk-Based Security

  2. Inception of TSA • TSA was created in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to strengthen the security of the nation's transportation systems. • The Aviation and Transportation Security Act established our agency and gave it three major mandates: • Responsibility for security for all modes of transportation; • Recruit, assess, hire, train, and deploy Security Officers for 450 commercial airports from Guam to Alaska in 12 months • Provide 100 percent screening of all checked luggage for explosives by December 31, 2002

  3. Layered Approach to Security • TSA uses layers of security as part of a risk-based approach to protecting passengers and our nation’s transportation systems. Each layer alone is capable of stopping a terrorist attack, but in combination, defenses compound to create a much stronger system. • Although checkpoint operations are the most visible layer, they represent just one part of TSA’s security system.

  4. Checkpoint Operations • Approximately 50,000 Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) serve on TSA's frontline at more than 450 airports nationwide. • Our highly trained and professional workforce are an integral part of TSA’s layered approach to security, which includes measures both seen and unseen. • TSOs use their training, experience and checkpoint technologies to effectively and efficiently screen more than 1.7 million passengers a day.

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

  7. Passenger Prescreening Secure Flight is a behind the scenes program that enhances the security of domestic and international commercial air travel through the use of improved watch list matching.

  8. Risk-Based Passenger Security Overview TSA is undertaking efforts to focus its resources and improve the passenger experience at airport security checkpoints by applying new intelligence-driven, risk-based screening procedures and enhancing its use of technology. Guiding Principles of Risk-Based Security 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 use of technology to gain system-wide efficiencies. Increase security by focusing on unknowns; expedite known/trusted travelers.

  10. Risk-Based Security Initiatives, Continued

  11. TSA Preê Expedited Passenger Screening Concept By placing more focus on pre-screening, TSA is able to expedite physical screening for known passengers while increasing system-wide effectiveness.

  12. TSA Pre✓™ Expedited Passenger Screening • Can Include No Longer Removing: • Shoes • 3-1-1 compliant bag from carry-on • Laptop from bag • Light outerwear/jacket • Belt • Random and • Unpredictable Measures • No Passenger Guaranteed • Expedited Screening

  13. Key Enablers This transformational effort is dependent on several key enablers. • Intelligence Driven • Professional Workforce • Advanced Technologies • Behavior Detection • Secure Flight • Industry and Government Partnerships • Informed Passengers View the latest map on www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/rbs.shtm

  14. TSAPre✓™ Expanding Passenger Participation Sign up through participating airlines or Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler programs. www.tsa.gov www.cbp.gov

  15. Risk-Based Security: Longer-Term, Strategic Objectives TSA will explore new procedures, new technologies and new ways to help us learn more about the individuals who fly, analyze these changes, and tailor security accordingly while balancing five overarching objectives. “The key is to find common solutions to common challenges in partnership with airports in an open, frank dialogue.” – Administrator John Pistole

  16. Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF)

  17. Certified Cargo Screening Facility Background • On August 3, 2007 President Bush approved legislation Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007. • The legislation mandates 100% screening by August 2010 and requires TSA to: • Establish a system to screen 100% of cargo transported on passenger aircraft. • Provide a level of security commensurateto that of passenger baggage. • CCSP was developed to: • Allow screening of cargo early in the air cargo supply chain by a trusted, vetted, audited, federally regulated facility. • Maintain the integrity of a shipment throughout the supply chain by utilizing stringent chain of custody methods.

  18. Screening Technology Tools TSA Approved Screening Methods • Physical search • AT X-ray* • Explosives Trace Detection (ETD)* • Explosives Detection System (EDS)* • Electronic Metal Detectors (EMD)* • TSA certified canines • Any other detection equipment accepted in the future by TSA *All technologies must be on the current TSA Screening Technology List which will be made available to screening participants.

  19. CCSF Participation Requirements Who can become a Certified Cargo Screening Facility? Companies within the United States or U.S. territories in the following business lines: Shipping Facilities Manufacturing Facilities Third Party Logistics Providers Warehouses/ Distribution Centers Contract Manufacturers Freight Forwarding Facilities Independent Cargo Screening Facilities

  20. CCSF Participation Requirements Continued • Participation in CCSSP is voluntary, • but accepted must: • Adhere to increased TSA-directed security standards. • Obtain Security Threat Assessments (background check) for employees, company owners, officers and partners. • Permit onsite validations. • Initiate chain of custody. • Be subject to TSA inspections at any time, day or night.

  21. Steps to join the CCSF program • Contact CCSP@dhs.gov for a CCSF application. • Submit application and Sensitive Security Information Handling Requirements certification. • Undergo CCSP assessment: • 4. Shippers Sign Order and IACs comply with Alternate Procedure. • 5. TSA reviews facility assessment and makes final certification decision. • 6. Receive Facility Certification from TSA HQ. • Questions regarding San Diego and Imperial area companies participating in CCSF program should submit request to: Darren.Dowell@dhs.gov
