Priority: P2

Description (User Story)

Different jurisdictions have different rules that need to be combined if we are to have one way for a traveler to be sure that both are satisfied before going to the airport.

Narrative

The TSA has rules for getting through the airport checkpoint in LAX. Air New Zealand has rules for getting on a plane that will allow debarkation into New Zealand.  Today it is possible to get through the TSA checkpoint and still be denied boarding. This needs to be fixed so that the traveler can be assured that they will meet all criteria.

Secondary Use Case (optional)


Actors

  • Traveler
  • Embarkation verification
  • Debarkation verification

Preconditions / Assumptions

  • User has a ticket to ride
  • User has identification credential
  • User has health credential


Use Case Details

Privacy


Data Provided

Identity Cred with biometric

COVID Cred like SHC

Ticket to ride


Data Retained

The goal is to have no biometric template data stored after the travel is completed.

Airlines will maintain travel records with their internal frequent flier numbers if provided by the user.


Steps

Step

Description

1

User purchases a ticket to ride

2

User verifies that credentials needed to complete the travel from ticket vendor.

3

User can present credentials to a common web site that will apply all rules and tell the user if travel can be completed.

4

If the user is missing some credential, they are told how to mitigate the problem.

5

The user goes to the airport and is checked by TSA and gets on the plane.


Success Criteria

If the user gets through the TSA checkpoint there is no further health test required to get on the airplane.


Failure

User gets shunted aside for manual processing by TSA.

The rules change while the plane is in flight and the traveler is not able to enter the country.
