What is the difference between redress and reconsideration?

Reconsideration is the process applicable to persons who have been disqualified from TSA PreCheck® on account of a regulatory violation who seek TSA to reconsider the length of the period of disqualification. Redress is the process applicable to persons who have been incorrectly disqualified from TSA PreCheck® (meaning individuals incorrectly identified as having committed a regulatory violation or individuals correctly identified as having committed a regulatory violation but erroneously disqualified for longer than the intended disqualification period).
