System of Records Notices (SORNs) Collection
A system of records is a group of any records under the control of any agency from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifier assigned to the individual. The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish notice of its systems of records in the Federal Register. This notice is generally referred to as a System of Records Notice or SORN.

DHS/TSA/PIA-016 - Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques (SPOT) Program
The Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques (SPOT) program is a behavior observation and analysis program designed to provide the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Behavior Detection Officers (BDOs) with a means of identifying persons who pose or may pose potential transportation security risks by focusing on behaviors indicative of high levels of stress, fear, or deception. The SPOT program is a derivative of other behavioral analysis programs that have been successfully employed by law enforcement and security personnel both in the U.S. and around the world. This PIA update reflects that TSA will pilot the use of BDOs as part of the security checkpoint process, by incorporating BDO interaction with passengers.

DHS/TSA/PIA-020 Airport Access for Aviation Workers
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) conducts security threat assessments on individuals working at airports. These include individuals seeking or holding authorized airport access or airport identification badges or credentials, as well as identification credentials or badges recognized by TSA under 49 CFR Parts 1542 and 1544, and non-traveling individuals requiring unescorted access to the sterile area of the airport. Additionally, Congress, through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2018, directed TSA to establish a national centralized database containing the names of individuals who have had an airport and/or aircraft operator-issued credential or badge revoked for failure to comply with aviation security requirements. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) consolidates and supersedes earlier PIAs regarding aviation worker security threat assessments (STA) published in 2004, 2005, and 2008 and discusses the creation of the new national centralized database.

DHS/TSA/PIA-021 - Stand-Off Detection (SPO)
TSA will deploy advanced explosives detection technology using passive millimeter wave (PMMW) screening technologies as part of the agency's efforts to ensure the safety of travelers. The objective is to identify individuals who may seek to detonate explosives in transportation facilities.

DHS/TSA/PIA-022 - Maryland Three (MD-3) Airports
TSA conducts security threat assessments and fingerprint-based Criminal History Records Checks (CHRCs) on pilots who operate aircraft and apply for privileges to fly to or from the three General Aviation airports in the Washington, D.C. restricted flight zones (Potomac Airfield, Washington Executive/Hyde Field, and College Park Airport), otherwise known as the Maryland Three (MD-3) program, and for the Airport Security Coordinator (ASC) at a MD-3 airport.

DHS/TSA/PIA-024 - Credential Authentication Technology/Boarding Pass Scanning System (CAT/BPSS)
This system validates the authenticity of passenger identity documents and/or boarding passes at TSA security checkpoints. TSA is updating its PIA to reflect that it will network CAT/BPSS in order to transmit data from the Secure Flight database to CAT/BPSS devices at security checkpoints. This PIA update applies to all locations where TSA will pilot and deploy Secure Flight connectivity. Where TSA continues to operate CAT/BPSS devices without Secure Flight connectivity, the previously published PIAs dated November 29, 2007 and August 11, 2009, remain in effect. This activity does not alter the privacy posture of the data obtained previously by TSA for the Secure Flight program.

DHS/TSA/PIA-025 - e-Law Enforcement Officer Logbook Program (e-Logbook)
August 31, 2009. The e-Logbook is as an electronic means of logging and confirming the identity of Law Enforcement Officers with a need to Fly Armed (hereinafter LEOFA). LEOFAs must satisfy the requirements set forth in 49 CFR § 1544.219, carriage of accessible weapons, prior to being admitted into an airport's sterile area or on-board a commercial aircraft.
-
DHS/TSA/PIA-027 - Workplace Violence Prevention Program
