So Register Traveler is part of that comprehensive plan at the airports where it operates. Under the airport security plan, the sponsoring entity, SFO in this case, is required to assure its vendors has approved information security program. Because the computer at SFO was not encrypted it is in violation of the security plan. We also have the ability to go directly to vendors when the plan is not being adhered to. (Another example of that would be the vendor in Chicago who had a SIDA badge infraction in 2007)<BR/><BR/>Clear® needs to meet the information security requirements that they agreed to as part of the Register Traveler program before their enrollment privileges will be reinstated. Encryption is the wider issue as opposed to one incident with one laptop. <BR/><BR/>Ellen Howe, TSA Office of Strategic Communications and Public AffairsEllen Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584312055536207225noreply@blogger.com
