SECURE FLIGHT AND AIRPORT PASSENGER FACILITATION Secure Flight is a mandatory airline passenger prescreening program developed by the Department of Homeland Security that will soon be implemented by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Secure Flight will begin conducting uniform prescreening of passenger information against federal government watch lists for domestic and international flights. TSA will take over this responsibility from aircraft operators who, up until now, have been responsible for checking passengers against government watch lists. Under the Secure Flight rule, airlines will request additional information from travelers when making a reservation to fly within, into, out of, or over the continental United States. Within the coming months, TSA will require travel agencies and airlines to collect and send to TSA the following information: Full Name (required) For more information on this program please go to: http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers/secureflight/index.shtm Please see the attached document for additional information on the following airport programs: Travelers will be advised by their travel consultants when the GDS systems are ready to collect the Secure Flight information for transmittal to the airline carriers during the reservation process. OBAMA BUDGET WOULD RAISE AIRPORT SECURITY FEES President Barack Obama broadly outlined his administration's 2010 budget plan, which proposes to increase passenger fees for airport security, heavily invest in high-speed rail programs, increase subsidies for small community air service and further fund next-generation air traffic control projects. The budget outline proposes to increase in 2012 the $2.50 per-segment Aviation Passenger Security Fee. Though the budget gives little detail on the increase, it notes the current fee "only captures 36% of the cost of aviation security." An increase, the budget outline notes, "will offset costs associated with Transportation Security Administration screening of aviation passengers." The budget proposes an additional $55 million over 2009 funding levels to subsidize air service to small communities, and would allot $1 billion per year to a high-speed rail grant program for states.
