Affected Public: Wounded warriors, severely injured military personnel, foreign dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to the United States, and other travelers requiring an escort through the airport security screening process.

See sec. 101(a) of Pub. L. 107–71 (115 Stat. 597; Nov. 19, 2001), as codified at 49 U.S.C. 114. Under ATSA, TSA established the Travel Protocol Office (TPO) Programs to assist foreign dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to the United States, and other travelers requiring an escort through the airport security screening process. The Helping Heroes Fly Act directs TSA to develop and implement a process to support and facilitate the ease of travel and, to the extent possible, provide expedited passenger screening services for severely injured or disabled members of the Armed Forces and severely injured or disabled veterans PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 103851 through passenger screening.

TSA shares this information with airports on the passenger’s itinerary to coordinate efforts, synchronize seamless transitions with the affected parties, and protect security operations.
