The aviation industry and business traveler groups have proposed the registered traveler concept as a way to reduce long waits in airport security lines caused by heightened security screening measures implemented after the September 11 terrorist attacks. In addition, aviation security experts have advocated this concept as a way to better target security resources to those travelers who might pose greater security risks. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act of November 2001 allows the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to consider developing a registered traveler program as a way to address these two issues. GAO completed this review to inform Congress and TSA of policy and implementation issues related to the concept of a registered traveler program. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-253/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-253.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-253/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-253.pdf GAO-03-253 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-253 Other Written Product GAO-03-253; Aviation Security: Registered Traveler Program Policy and Implementation Issues; Airport security Commercial aviation Customer service Law enforcement Risk management Safety standards National preparedness Transportation safety Transportation workers Travel Title 26 Section 6103 26 U.S.C. 6103 Public Law 107-71
