Aviation Security: Secure Flight Development and Testing Under Way, but Risks Should Be Managed as System Is Further Developed GAO-05-356, March 28, 2005. Highlights.
“…the effectiveness of Secure Flight in identifying passengers who should undergo additional security scrutiny has not been fully determined. For example, TSA has not resolved how passenger data will be transmitted from air carriers to TSA to support Secure Flight operations. Further, the ability of Secure Flight to make accurate matches between passenger data and data contained in the terrorist screening database is dependent on the quality of the data used, which has not been determined.”
