What an exciting time in our global economy! Changes are happening rapidly every day.
The U. S. Government has five programs to save Business and Frequent travelers time. We all know time equals money.
On Oct. 4, 2011 the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, CBP.gov have teamed up for this Homeland Security Initiative, launching a pilot programs expediting the screening of U.S. Citizens who are traveling.
Here is the list of programs. Posting a blog on each program. I really think you will like this!
1. TSA Trusted Traveler
Also called TSA PreCheck. I like the name Trusted Traveler better.
The CBP has partnered with TSA on this Department of Homeland Security initiative,
designed to help TSA focus resources on higher-risk and unknown passengers while
expediting the process for lower-risk and known passengers.
U.S. citizens who are members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI.
Trusted Traveler programs are eligible to participate in the TSA pilot.
According to the American Association of Airport Executives an article in Airport Magazine stated the program is set for 2nd quarter of 2012 to roll out in LAX, Las Vegas International airport and Minneapolis - St. Paul International airport.
This program Began at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport, Detroit Metro Wayne County Airport, and Miami International Airport.
I am sure that was a HUGE undertaking, based on the size of the initial four airports.
Business travelers are impressed with
the respect the new program "Trusted Traveler"
offers the frequent traveler.
Safe and healthy travels,
