The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched two enhancements to its general aviation security: a nationwide "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign and a streamlined system for vetting passengers and crew on general aviation aircraft entering and exiting the United States through a single, departmentwide process.
"This new component of 'If You See Something, Say Something' will enable general aviation passengers and crew to better recognize and report behaviors and indicators associated with new and evolving threats," said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. "We are also transitioning to a streamlined system for vetting travelers on general aviation flights to and from the United States to provide a single, electronic screening process while maintaining robust security standards."
