<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>WASHINGTON
– The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced today that
beginning May 15 the Secure Flight passenger vetting program will begin asking
passengers to enter their full name – as it appears on the government
issued identification they will be traveling with – when making airline
reservations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>This is
the first publicly-noticeable step in implementing the multi-phase Secure
Flight program which shifts pre-departure watch list matching responsibilities
from individual aircraft operators to TSA. The Secure Flight program satisfies
a key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission, and congressional requirements
from the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 and the 9/11
Commission Act signed into law in 2007.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>"By
enhancing and streamlining the watch list matching process, the Secure Flight
program makes travel safer and easier for millions of Americans," said TSA
Acting Administrator Gale Rossides. "During this phase of the Secure
Flight program, passengers are encouraged to book their reservations using
their name as it appears on the government-issued ID they will use while
traveling."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>In the
near future, small differences between the passenger's ID and the passenger's
reservation information, such as the use of a middle initial instead of a full
middle name or no middle name/initial at all, will not be an issue for
passengers. Over time, passengers should strive to obtain consistency between
the name on their government issued ID and the travel information they use for
booking flights. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
second phase of Secure Flight begins August 15, 2009 when passengers will be
required to enter their date of birth and gender when booking airline flights.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Once
Secure Flight's advanced technology is fully implemented in early 2010,
enhanced watch list matching will be done by the government. Airlines will gather
a passenger's full name, date of birth, and gender when making an airline
reservation to determine if the passenger is a match to the No Fly or Selectee
lists. By providing the additional data elements of gender and date of birth,
Secure Flight will more effectively help prevent misidentification of
passengers who have similar names to individuals on the watch list and better
identify individuals that may pose a known or suspected threat to aviation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>TSA's
goal is to vet 100 percent of passengers on all domestic commercial flights by
early 2010 and 100 percent of passengers on all international commercial
flights by the end of 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
