REGISTERED TRAVELER SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

The present invention provides systems and methods for registering frequent travelers and for confirming traveler identities so that a more streamlined procedure may be used during security checks prior to departure of the registered traveler. One such method includes receiving a customer data set and a customer biometric with a controller, and transmitting at least a portion of the data set to a remote system. In some embodiments the remote system is a background check system, such as an FBI database system for checking whether the individual associated with the biometric is wanted by local, state or federal authorities, is on a terrorist watchlist, and the like. The method includes receiving a response from the remote system, and creating a registered traveler record using the customer data set and the customer biometric. In this manner, a customer can become a registered traveler, after providing various data and biometric(s), and submitting to a background check.
