TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION DOCUMENT REQUEST No. 4

Lee H. Hamilton VICE CHAIR

Richard Ben-Veniste Max Cleland Fred F. Fielding Jamie S. Gorelick Slade Gorton John Lehman Timothy J. Roemer James R. Thompson

Philip D. Zelikow EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the "Commission") requests the Transportation Security Administration (the respondent) to conduct an aviation security briefing which includes a simulation, to be observed by the Commission, that will replicate each step of the pre-boarding aviation security procedures applied to the hijackers on September 11, 2001. The simulation should be conducted no later than October 15, 2001 and should include the following: 1. The respondent must take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that the simulation recreates, as accurately as possible, the circumstances and procedures of the pre-boarding aviation security process as applied to the hijackers on September 11, 2001. Where there are differences of procedures or equipment used among the three departure airports, prior coordination with the Commission staff on the simulation must be made. 2. Computer Assisted Passenger Pre-screening. The respondent shall use the CAPPS computer program that pre-screened the passengers on each of the four hijacked flights. As part of the simulation, the ticket reservation data from the Passenger Name Record (PNR) of the hijackers will be inputted to determine the status assigned by CAPPS to each of the individuals. 3. Flight Check-in. The respondent shall recreate the check-in procedures applied to the hijackers including the presentation of passenger identification by the hijackers to airline counter personnel and the cross referencing of the PNR to the applicable flight restriction notices including the "no fly list" of September 11, 2001. 4. Checkpoint screening. The respondent shall make available the identical make and model of checkpoint security equipment including magnetometers, x-ray machines and metal detection hand wands that were used to screen the hijackers on September 11, 2001. With respect to checkpoint screening equipment, the respondent shall ensure that the devices uses for the simulation are calibrated to precisely the same sensitivity as the equipment used to screen the passengers on September 11, 2001. During the simulation, the equipment will be tested using the items the FBI believes the hijackers may have had on their person or in their carry-on luggage.
