PASSENGER SUPPORT


PASSENGER SUPPORT SPECIALISTS




 


SCREENING ASSISTANCE

You may request the services of a TSA Passenger Support Specialist (PSS), who
can provide assistance through security screening. A PSS is a TSA officer who
has received specialized training, including how to effectively assist and
communicate with individuals with disabilities or medical conditions; and
passengers who need additional screening assistance. Requesting PSS service does
not exempt you from security screening.

To make the request, please contact us at least 72-hours prior to your departure
by completing the TSA Cares form or calling TSA Cares at (855) 787-2227.

Airport wheelchair service is provided by your airline. TSA does not provide
this service.

Examples where you may request PSS assistance may include:

 * Difficulty following instructions due to a disability or medical condition.
 * Have internal or external devices that may affect your ability to use
   screening technology.
 * Traveling with medically necessary liquids, gels, or aerosols over 3.4oz.
 * Traveling with a child who has a disability or medical condition.
 * Traveling with a service animal.
 * Difficulty understanding and communicating in English.
 * Traveling with religious, cultural, sacred, or spiritual items, ceremonial
   regalia, and headdresses requiring special handling.  ­­
 * Traveling with crematory remains.

The PSS program does not provide expedited screening service. Looking for
expedited screening? You’ll find that here.

Your security experience will be smoother if you allow us to prepare for your
needs. Contact TSA Cares at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure.
