DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program, TRIP System, Database Errors

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) utilizes the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP) to address issues for passengers who are repeatedly flagged for secondary screening. Agents at SFO confirmed that the database sits on top of DMV and IRS information, making it difficult to remove names once they are entered. There are reportedly over a million people currently affected by these database errors.
