Secure Flight Enters New Phase

Beginning August 15, U.S. airlines participating in TSA’s Secure Flight passenger vetting program will begin asking passengers to enter their date of birth and gender when making airline reservations. TSA has begun to phase airlines into the Secure Flight program and will complete domestic implementation by early 2010. This is the second step in implementing the Secure Flight program which shifts pre-departure watch list matching responsibilities from individual airlines to TSA. The first phase began on May 15 when airlines began asking passengers to provide their name - as it appears on the government issued identification they will be traveling with - when making airline reservations.
