What is the database system created by the U.S. Customs to expedite the processing of passengers at ports?

  1. Advance Passenger Screening System (APIS)

  2. Target Flight Connector System (TFCS)

  3. Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS)

  4. Passenger Name Record (PNR)

The correct answer is: Advance Passenger Screening System (APIS)

The Advance Passenger Screening System (APIS) is a database system created by the U.S. Customs specifically to expedite the processing of passengers at ports. The other options are not correct because - The Target Flight Connector System (TFCS) is a system used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to track flights and identify high-risk passengers and cargo. It is not specifically designed for expedited processing of passengers at ports. - The Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) is a database system used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to screen individuals entering the United States. While it may aid in the processing of passengers at ports, it is not solely dedicated to this purpose. - The Passenger Name Record (PNR) is a data record consisting of personal information, itinerary, and payment details of a passenger. It is used by airlines and other transportation companies
