Description
This is a secret document produced by the CIA's CHECKPOINT Identity and Travel Intelligence Program
to explain and advise CIA operatives on how to deal with secondary screening at airports, as they travel
to and from covert CIA operations using false ID, including into and out of Europe. The document details
specific examples of operatives being stopped under secondary screening at various ariports around the
world; how and why the person was and offers advice on how to deal with such circumstances
and minimise the risks if stopped to continue maintaining cover. The document was created for
distribution within the organisation and other officials who hold appropriate clearances at Executive
Branch Departments/Agencies of the US Government. The document's overarching predominant advice
is to maintain cover, "no matter what". SECRET//ORCON/NOFORN

Introduction (U)
Secondary screening—a potentially lengthy and detailed look by airport offcials at
passengers not passing initial scrutiny—can signifcantly stress the identities of
operational travelers. Border-control offcers at international airports use primary screening
to quickly evaluate arriving passengers and identify those that may not be admissible, such as
illegal immigrants, narcotics traffckers and other criminals, terrorists, or intelligence offcers.
For countries with authoritarian regimes, airport offcials may also want to deny entry to
foreign political activists or nongovernmental organization (NGO) offcials. Security or customs
inspectors can refer travelers to secondary when they fnd weapons, drugs, or other contraband
on their persons or in their baggage. (C//NF)
Referral to secondary screening can occur if irregularities or questions arise during
any stage of airport processing—immigration, customs, or security—and regardless
of whether the traveler is arriving, in transit, or departing. Offcials may also randomly
select travelers. The resulting secondary screening can involve in-depth and lengthy
questioning, intrusive searches of personal belongings, cross-checks against external
databases, and collection of biometrics—all of which focus signifcant scrutiny on an operational
traveler. (S//NF)
This study examines triggers for secondary selection used at various international airports, the
range of subsequent scrutiny of identity, and traveler responses that are most likely to pass
secondary inspection with cover intact. For the study, CHECKPOINT researched available
all-source intelligence reporting but also incorporated a number of secondary screening
experiences from operational travelers. The information cut-off date is 31 May 2010. (S//NF)
NOTE: Although the information available is suffcient to provide general insights into the
secondary screening criteria and procedures that travelers may experience at foreign airports,
it is insuffciently detailed, comprehensive, and timely to provide tactical intelligence
for operational travelers using nonoffcial cover. Moreover, the examples cited in the study
illustrate the range of potential experiences but do not evaluate specifc airports. (S//NF)
