Evolving Our Perimeter Security Relationship

• What are the lessons learned from Shannon Preclearance that can inform a future US‐Canada context?

– Strict limitations impact the potential for use by business aviation– Operational issues continue with sterility rules

• What will the “Perimeter Strategy” bring to business aviation?– Building blocks for future preclearance concepts– New powers and philosophies for processing at the Perimeter?

• Preclearance from Shannon to Canada as well as the US?

– Additional and common risk management

• How will our processes evolve in the mean time?– High density of business aviation traffic – Pre‐processing benefits away from the border
