1 Security Checkpoints: Evolving Technology and Planning Considerations 2018 Work March 14, 2018

2 Agenda Yesterday / Today Ongoing / Near-Term Future Long-term Recommendations

3

4 Yesterday / Today Current State Standard lanes ( Mod set ) Mobile boarding passes TSA Pre-Check 3.5%/year growth; 6M enrolled; 10M total Trusted Traveler TSA s Checkpoint Design Guide (CDG) Bare minimum => Optimal configuration Continuous updates, with supplement Canine Teams Very good excellent rate of success High volume periods Specific queue configurations Air flow requirements

5 Ongoing / Near-Term TSA s Innovation Task Force (ITF) Pilot Programs Automated Screening Lanes ( Program of Record ) Multiple vendors / configurations

6 Ongoing / Near-Term TSA s Innovation Task Force (ITF) Pilot Programs Next Generation Advanced Imaging Technology Walkthrough millimeter wave (pilot: LAX) Passenger position correction Stand-off detection Checkpoint Computed Tomography (CT) Checked Baggage Technology Multiple manufacturers; varying stages of certification Various test sites (stand-alone configuration) BOS, PHX, OAK (soon) Plan: 145 units in airports Upcoming: Integrated w/ ASL

7 Ongoing / Near-Term Biometrics Fingerprints; Facial Recognition Credential Authentication Technology Holograms Real-Time Queue Management Bluetooth Technology Video Analytics

8 Ongoing / Near-Term TSA Office of Acquisition and Program Management (OAPM)* Standing up Programs of Record (POR) Project-based budgets Office-wide Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) Improved projected equipment needs Office-wide prioritization framework Passenger Screening Program (PSP) Transition from procurement to sustainment by 2020 * March 20 th ASAC Checkpoint Report Working Group - Recommendations Briefing

9 Long-Term TSA ITF Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) Rolling submissions; next release: end of 2018 CT, ASLs increase throughput Machine learning Automatic threat detection vs. auto assist Improved (longer?) re-composure Networked/consolidated remote screening Innovative configurations

10 Long-Term

11 Long-Term Accessible Property Security Screening (APSS) TSA, through contract support, developing simulation models for new technology evaluation ASLs with AT, CT As detailed as possible with vendor specifications Value: effective risk analysis and evaluation of impact on life cycle costs (labor, capital, O&M, ILS, RMA, etc.) for subsystems and system as a whole

12 Long-Term Blast & Congestion Mitigation Strategies National SafeSkies Alliance Program For Applied Research In Airport Security (PARAS) ongoing projects? PARAS 0013: Managing Congestion in Public Areas to Mitigate Security Vulnerabilities PARAS 0014: Blast Mitigation Strategies for Non-Secure Areas at Airports

13 Long-Term Biometrics fingerprints, facial recognition, retinal scans, etc. Multi-layered security for advanced threat detection & prevention ( curb to gate ) Non-passenger access to airside (DEN hotel; PIT) TSA Integration CDG: start with optimal configuration, work back (similar to Planning Guidelines & Design Standards for Checked Baggage Inspection Systems (PGDS) Security Technology Integration Program (STIP): remote download of Field Data Recording System (FDRS) information; upload of new algorithms Robust cybersecurity infrastructure

14 Long-Term APEX Screening at Speed DHS Science & Technology (S&T) Directorate Double the throughput Reduce checkpoints Reduce divestiture/re-composure Autonomous

15 Recommendations Involve TSA early (and often) in the design process Design for worst case (actual checkpoint, HVAC, AND support space) Power & data everywhere New construction: consider underfloor electrical systems (Walkerduct, etc.) to avoid future swiss cheese Maintain up-to-date as-built documentation (BIM model, etc.) Consider developing a detailed system model with best available information Contemplate the operation & passenger mix; not just the equipment throughput Mitigate congestion, bottlenecks, as best as possible Volunteer/register to be an ITF pilot site
