Detailed Description
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) conducts name-based Security Threat Assessments (STA) 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)1 at a MD-3 airport. For the STA process, TSA compares the biographical information of these pilots and ASCs, hereafter referred to as individuals, against Federal terrorist, immigration, and law enforcement databases. For the CHRC, TSA forwards the fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which conducts fingerprint-based CHRCs on individuals.
