New Security Procedures at Checkpoints
 In
cooperation with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), gate
screening of Northwest/KLM passengers will soon be eliminated. The passenger
identification and enhanced security screening procedures will now be
conducted at the security checkpoints. The change to procedures will be
phased in for all U.S. airports, and was recently introduced at the Edward
H.
McNamara Terminal and Northwest Airlines WorldGateway in Detroit. Plans
call for expanding the new program to other U.S. airports in the coming
months.

Previously, customers holding a receipt for an electronic ticket, an
itinerary printed by Northwest or a travel agency confirming the electronic
ticket number, or a paper ticket were allowed to go through security checkpoints.
Under the new TSA security procedures, passengers must present a boarding
pass to enter areas beyond security checkpoints. As a result, receipts,
printed itineraries, and paper tickets are no longer sufficient documentation
to allow passengers through security.
During the transition period, Northwest/KLM travelers will experience
varying TSA security checkpoint requirements. To ensure a hassle-free
experience, customers with E-Tickets are encouraged to take advantage
of Internet check-in at nwa.com or one of our E-Service Centers to print
their boarding pass. This will ensure compliance with the new TSA requirements
and help to reduce airport lines. Passengers with a paper ticket must
check in with a Northwest/KLM agent.
