Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano today visited Dublin Airport to meet with Irish Minister of Transport Noel Dempsey and mark the expansion of preclearance services, beginning January 19, 2011, in Ireland to commercial aircraft departing and passing through Dublin Airport for the United States—enhancing global aviation security by allowing DHS to screen travelers before takeoff through the same process they would undergo upon arrival at a U.S. port of entry to better target and prevent threats while streamlining legitimate travel and trade.
