TSA's Expedited Screening Pilot Program
TSA On Oct. 4, 2011 the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) launched an expedited screening pilot program called tsa_large_thumb. CBP has partnered with TSA on this Department of Homeland Security initiative, which is designed to help TSA focus resources on higher-risk and unknown passengers while expediting the process for lower-risk and known passengers whenever possible.

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 TSA's Program.
