In order to allow Law Enforcement
Officers (LEOs) to fly armed, TSA established a specialized
screening process for Federal, State, local, and tribal LEO needing
to access the sterile area of the airport when they are going to
fly armed. To document such LEO movements, TSA’s specialized
screening procedures require the LEO to complete TSA Form 413A,
Checkpoint Sign-In Log. This real-time situational awareness is
necessary in the event of a contingency on board the aircraft, such
as but not limited to, a disruptive passenger, air piracy, or other
threat to the safety and security of a commercial
aircraft.
