New Site for No-Fly Hassles
Through the Department of Homeland Security's new Traveler Redress Inquiry Program, or TRIP, travelers can access a DHS Web site to try to resolve watch list misidentification issues.
According to DHS, TRIP lets travelers relay their watch list concerns with a single request. The information is sent to DHS, which, in turn, shares it with the applicable agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Department of State, and, if appropriate, airport and airline operators.
“We're making travel more efficient and secure by offering a convenient redress process,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. “This is a win-win program. Eliminating false positives makes the travel experience more pleasant for legitimate visitors, and it frees up our front-line personnel to apply even greater scrutiny of those individuals who truly present safety and security risks.”
For information about TRIP, go to www.dhs.gov/trip.
