Known Crewmember (KCM) Policy Enhancements –Effective January 13
Beginning on January 13, 2015, Flight Attendants will have the option to transit through the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Known Crew Member (KCM) checkpoint not in uniform.  When entering the KCM checkpoint area all crew members must be active, have a valid airline badge and a government ID.  All parameters of the KCM program still apply with this policy enhancement and can be reviewed on our website.

Please remember ALL crew members transiting through a KCM portal are subject to random screening, either at the KCM or through a passenger screening check point. The following are more specifics regarding the random screenings process and the Liquid, Gel and Aerosol (LGA) requirements for crew members transiting KCM checkpoint in and out of uniform.

Uniformed Crew Members

• Uniformed crew members will continue to have Liquid, Gel and Aerosol exemption at the passenger screening checkpoint and the KCM access point.

Non-uniformed Crew Members
Non-Uniformed crew members who are selected and receive random screening:

• at the KCM access point
  • Will continue to have their Liquid, Gel and Aerosol exemption.
• at a passenger screening checkpoint (standard lane or employee, lane where available)
  • WILL NOT be allowed the Liquid, Gel and Aerosol exemption.  They are not permitted to utilize the TSA Pre?™ lanes and do not have front of the line access to the standard passenger screening lane.  (Note: Crew members not in uniform are considered passengers when screened at any passenger screening checkpoints and will be subject to passenger screening standards.)

Please ensure that you understand all KCM regulations, so that you don't inadvertently violate these security restrictions.  We do not want the actions of a few to jeopardize KCM enjoyed by working crew members.
