ALEXANDRIA, Va., December 13, 2006 — The American Association of Airport Executives announced today that Vigilant Solutions has agreed to use its Transportation Security Clearinghouse (TSC) as the Central Information Management System (CIMS) for the Registered Traveler Program. Vigilant Solutions joins other RT service providers who have chosen the TSC as the CIMS for the RT program.

"AAAE's TSC has a proven record of success. We've reduced turnaround times and cost for aviation worker background checks, and we're looking forward to bringing the same great customer service and industry experience to RT service providers in the most cost-effective manner possible," AAAE President Barclay said. "More importantly, a permanent, interoperable and nationwide Registered Traveler program will improve security and efficiency for US air travelers and we're proud to play such an important role toward this goal."

"We are pleased to join the rest of the RT Service Providers who chose to use TSC for the RT program," Vigilant Solutions CEO John F. Andrews said. "We are also very happy to acknowledge all the support we received from AAAE team during our discussions to this stage. We look forward to a long fruitful relationship with AAAE.”

As the designated CIMS, TSC is responsible for several key functions of the RT program, such as processing all records, interfacing with the TSA for background checks, ensuring a chain of trust from vetted enrollments and issued credentials, and sending alerts to all service providers regarding revoked credentials.
