The Airports Council International - North America issued the following news release:
Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA), which represents the owners and operators of airports throughout the United States, today issued a statement in response to the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) launch of PreCheck, a risk-based, intelligence-driven passenger screening pilot program with American Airlines at Dallas/Fort Worth International and Miami International airports, and Delta Air Lines at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County airports.
Statement of ACI-NA President Greg Principato:
"Airport officials have long advocated for this type of risk-based approach to airport security that focuses limited screening resources on those about which the least is known. We believe the program will help in the development of a sustainable system that balances enhanced security with improved customer service. Today's launch of the PreCheck Program gets us one step closer to looking for bad people, not bad things."
Principato continued, "ACI-NA and airports look forward to working with TSA and the airlines to further expand this risk-based screening program to additional airports as soon as possible."
