Does this screening service program already exist at airports?

Yes, there are two operating RSSP locations at LAX, one at ATL, and one at JFK. The location at LGA is approved but not yet operational. 

Operating: 

The LAX RSSP location began operating in January 2020 with Los Angeles World Airports and the operator Private Suite (PS). This location screens business executives, celebrities, and other high-profile travelers.  The second RSSP location at LAX began operations in June 2023 with Delta Air Lines.  Delta Air Lines offers this service to their customers via their Delta One model.  

The ATL RSSP location began operating in August 2023 with the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation and with PS as the operator.  This location follows the same passenger criteria model used by the PS membership program.  

The JFK RSSP location began operating in October 2024 with Delta Air Lines and follows the Delta One model.

Both Delta Air Lines and PS submit an advance payment each operating year and requests screening operations from TSA as needed with advanced notification.

Approved:

LGA - is in the pre-implementation stage with LaGuardia Gateway Partners and the go-live date is to be determined.

Removed:

MSP – was approved in 2020 but was put on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic.  As of January 2024, TSA and Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) agreed to remove MSP from the program due to security screening staffing shortages
