Senti-Tuesday, January 27, 2004 2:42 PM To: Subject: 1/27 Aviation Security Discussion - Can I Help You Identify Industry Solutions? I happened to see today's discussion on CSPAN and wanted to offer my assistance in identifying solutions for closing a particular type of security gap highlighted in today's aviation security panel discussion. The need to identify particular individuals at point-ofsale for travel or financial transactions. I live in NYC and I've worked in the technology and marketing organizations of global travel and finance organizations such as American Express, Citibank and JP Morgan Chase for the past 25 years. I've spent many years using technology to identify customer behavior and activities across all global markets. I was on my way to my American Express office across the street from the WTC when the 9/11 attack occurred. I was motivated to write by a comment Claudio Manno, Asst. Administrator for Intelligence - TSA's comment that airlines were objecting to matching a terrorist list names to customers. I also met Thomas Kean a few years ago at a Drew University reunion, when my wife Debora was giving me a tour of Meade Hall. I'd like to help because I know there are already technology processes in place, that are already linked to commercial reservation and financial processing systems that can perform required real-time customer screening. Most existing high-volume point-of-sale processes are geared toward marketing purposes. Some global marketers have customer screening processes, but they target money laundering and other financial crimes. These systems exist today, and process tens of millions of transactions daily, with sub-second response time. Some, like an American Express terrorist screening process managed out of Brighton, UK include terrorist suppressions, but are not mantained. I believe that the commission should recommend technical standards for travel, transportation and financial companies to interface with a terrorist list screening process at point-of-sale, based on a scalable query system that can be maintained by DHS, or some entitiy_under DHS control. This would that specifically address commercial and government needs to maintain: CUL ,er privacy, a high level of accuracy, access and security for screening logic.
