 iCheckIt is an Interpol initiative that complements and enhances existing national border security systems. It allows trusted partners in the private sector to conduct advanced passenger checks in real time, in collaboration with the law enforcement community. The value of iCheckIt lies in moving travel security checks upfront, as part of a pre-travel process decreasing the risk of travel disruption and adding a layer of security at border points. Passengers and industry are part of the solution when it comes to border security. Borders do not have to remain an open door to threats. They can become a gateway to opportunity.
