TSA Badge Holder Screening

Purple Badge Access – SIDA Secure Area

  • Access: 24/7 secure access with random aviation screening; for employees reporting to work only, managed by ACTS.
  • Personal Travel: Must go through TSA checkpoint as normal; use your airline ticket.
  • Entry Process:
    • Airport Worker Screening: Swipe Purple badge at reader to open screening door (far left)
    • Crew/Employee lane: TSA position is in place in the sterile silver area (far right).
    • After hours, an officer (ACPD/ACTS) is assigned to the checkpoint—badges still screened at reader.
  • Dedicated Employee Lane for everyone: Managed by TSA; employees should not mingle with passengers anymore.

 

Airport Worker Screening

  • ACTS: screen employees with purple badges
  • ACTS will turn away silver badge holders attempting purple badge access.
  • Off hours: screening supported by ACPD & ACTS.
  • Two ACTS personnel always stationed to prevent backups; a floater can assist if bottlenecks occur.
  • Employees may bring liquids, lunches, etc. through Airport Worker screening.
  • Important: Purple badge access is for work travel only.

 

Personal Travel Notes

  • Must use TSA checkpoint for personal trips (cannot use Airport Worker Screening).
