Aviation Technologies has created what it believes is a solution to the time-consuming process of checking air passenger and employee names against Transportation Security Administration (TSA) “no-fly” and “selectee no-fly cleared” and “selectee cleared” watch-lists. Those lists now total more than 120,000 people, most of whom are barred from flying or for whom additional security measures are necessary. Two other lists comprise those who have been cleared to fly or for whom no additional security measures are required.
Until this point, users with passenger manifests and employee lists have been obliged to download the most recent TSA lists onto their own unsecured hard drives and either print out a paper copy or do an Excel overlay. Among the system’s drawbacks is that the process permits only exact-name matches and does not take into consideration spelling variations.
