Travel blog Your Mileage May Vary highlighted a little-noticed passage in the Department of Homeland Security’s annual performance report: every TSA PreCheck and Global Entry member is screened against law-enforcement databases every 24 hours, and status can be revoked without notice. The post underscores that “trusted” does not mean “permanent.” For mobility teams, the reminder is timely. Employees who pick up minor criminal citations—unpaid traffic fines, for instance—may discover at the airport that their Known Traveler Number has been deactivated. Companies relying on PreCheck for FAST-lane security clearances at sensitive facilities could see operational delays if badges cannot be issued. Best practice is to add trusted-traveler status to annual self-disclosure forms, enabling compliance teams to intervene before a suspension. CBP also now offers an online reconsideration form, but processing can take months. The safest mitigation is to maintain CLEAR or other back-up services for executives with critical travel needs.
