An update on August 24, 2019, to the TSA’s procedures for its Known Crewmember program would have required flight crew to be in uniform in order to use its expedited security screening. Now, the update is on hold after intervention from pilot and flight attendant unions.
Known Crewmember Program Requiring Uniform On Hold
Key Takeaways:
- The TSA's planned requirement for flight crews to be in uniform to use its Known Crewmember (KCM) expedited security screening program has been put on hold following intervention from pilot and flight attendant unions.
- This proposed rule, which was set to go into effect on August 28, 2019, would have significantly impacted commuting crews who rely on KCM when not in uniform for benefits like expedited screening and carrying liquids.
- The uniform requirement was slated to follow a previous "enhancement" to the KCM program, introducing Unpredictable Screening Procedures at airport access points.
