It’s a security flight program developed by the transportation security administration (TSA) to intensify air travel security. It requires certain information about past U.S air travel records of passenger. The TSA's primary mission is to prevent terrorist attacks and other security threats in the transportation sector, which includes airports, trains, buses, and other modes of transportation. TSA officers screen passengers and their belongings at security checkpoints, using technologies like X-ray machines and metal detectors. They also work to identify, and intercept prohibited items and potential threats

The passenger must use the same name on their reservation as the one provided to the TSA. Passenger must carry government issued identification that matches your TSA identity.If any passenger has an issue regarding mismatching of their name from skymiles account or TSA account, they have an opportunity to change their name before boarding flight by calling 1-888-750-3284 for further assistance
