The TSA liaison person will then notify the appropriate Federal Security Directors at the involved airports to ensure that any security screening required at those affected airports will be conducted by TSA screening experts with respect and dignity in order to make the overall experience for the service member as expeditious and pleasant, as possible.
(Emphasis added.)
Implies that if you don't phone, respect and dignity is not guaranteed.
