Screening Partnership Program
On February 14, 2012, the President signed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, which outlines additional TSA requirements related to the approval of SPP Airport applications. The Act states that TSA shall approve an airport’s application to participate in SPP if approval will not compromise security, detrimentally affect cost efficiency, or detrimentally affect screening effectiveness of passengers or property.
