DOCUMENT REQUEST No. 4
Lee H. Hamilton
VICE CHAIR
The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
Richard Ben-Veniste
(the "Commission") requests the Transportation Security Administration
Max Cleland (the respondent) to conduct an aviation security briefing which includes a
simulation, to be observed by the Commission, that will replicate each
Fred F. Fielding
step of the pre-boarding aviation security procedures applied to the
Jamie S. Gorelick hijackers on September 11, 2001. The simulation should be conducted
Slade Gorton
no later than October 15, 2001 and should include the following:

John Lehman 1. The respondent must take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure
Timothy J. Roemer
that the simulation recreates, as accurately as possible, the
circumstances and procedures of the pre-boarding aviation security
James R. Thompson process as applied to the hijackers on September 11, 2001. Where
there are differences of procedures or equipment used among the
Philip D. Zelikow three departure airports, prior coordination with the Commission staff
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
on the simulation must be made.

2. Computer Assisted Passenger Pre-screening. The respondent shall

use the CAPPS computer program that pre-screened the passengers
on each of the four hijacked flights. As part of the simulation, the
ticket reservation data from the Passenger Name Record (PNR) of the
hijackers will be inputted to determine the status assigned by CAPPS
to each of the individuals.

3. Flight Check-in. The respondent shall recreate the check-in

procedures applied to the hijackers including the presentation of
passenger identification by the hijackers to airline counter personnel
and the cross referencing of the PNR to the applicable flight
restriction notices including the "no fly list" of September 11, 2001.

4. Checkpoint screening. The respondent shall make available the

identical make and model of checkpoint security equipment including
magnetometers, x-ray machines and metal detection hand wands that
were used to screen the hijackers on September 11, 2001.

With respect to checkpoint screening equipment, the respondent shall

ensure that the devices uses for the simulation are calibrated to precisely
the same sensitivity as the equipment used to screen the passengers on
September 11, 2001. During the simulation, the equipment will be
tested using the items the FBI believes the hijackers may have had on
their person or in their carry-on luggage.
