- The scope of the screening would be strictly restricted to to items that fall under the definition or weapons, explosives and incendiaries(WEI).
- Any intrusive searches, defined as searches requiring physical touching of the passenger or electronic methods that produce images of the passenger's body without clothing, would require a written disclosure of the need for the increased screening signed by the requester and a supervisor with a copy of the request to be provided to the passenger.
- Acceptable causes for the intrusive searches would include random selection by numeric electronic random generators, failure to clear the passenger-selected screening method, failure of an ETD scan of passenger carry on luggage, failure to pass a screening by trained detection animals, or when an acceptable government issued ID is not available. The intrusive search may also be initiated by TSA management above the supervisor level for any reason, but the reason must be documented, signed by the person initiating with a copy of the documentation given to the passenger.
- If available, a passenger may request the use of WBI in place of the WTMD for implanted medical devises. If the WBI is not available the passenger may request the physical inspection without the need for documentation.
- The passenger alone may choose whether to have screening done in a private or public area, that any screening may be witnessed by anyone of the passenger's choosing, and that the witness may photograph or video the process without restriction. It will be the responsibility of the TSA to provide a place of screening that does not have security sensitive items in the field of view of the camera and that all personal involved with the screening acknowledge their consent to the recording of the screening by their agreeing to the do the screening.
- Once the passenger has been cleared at the primary screening area, no additional screenings of the passenger may occur in the sterile area without written documentation as to why the additional screening is being done, signed by the person initiating the additional screening and a copy of the documentation being made available to each screened passenger that requests one. This additional sterile area screening includes any screening of items purchased or obtained in the sterile area, searches of the person, or their items to be carried on the plane. The sterile area screening can only be requested by someone at the supervisor level of above and the request must include the specific area or group for the screening. These screenings may include only the specific passengers of a single flight number or selected gate within a specific time frame.
I would find this fair and acceptable.
