TSA Issues Notice of KCM Change
(August 24, 2019) — Earlier today, TSA posted an Alert to the KCM website, changing procedures for the program. (https://www.knowncrewmember.org/alert-august-24-2019/) Unpredictable Screening Procedures will change August 27 and the requirement for crew uniforms will become effective this Wednesday, August 28th.
It is highly unusual that a change would be communicated on a Saturday without advance notice and a relatively tight implementation time of a few days. Please note that changes made are within the analysis of TSA’s risk-based security system. Until we know more, AFA-CWA encourages all crewmembers to help spread the word about the new procedures and comply accordingly.
Once we have more information about the genesis of the change we will determine how to respond as a union.
