The Department of Homeland Security is considering updates to how it verifies identity and conducts security threat assessments for PreCheck applicants.
The Transportation Security Administration is looking to revise its biometric data collection and storage practices, according to a notice posted last week in the Federal Register.
TSA is considering an expansion of voluntary biometric screening, centralization of account management for travelers and reuse of biometric data across programs, such as with Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry program. These changes will primarily impact TSA PreCheck applicants and users.
