(38) Where the ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible considers that some aspects of the application for a travel authorisation deserve further examination by the border authorities, it should be able to attach a flag to the travel authorisation it issues, recommending a second line check at the border crossing point. It should also be possible for such a flag to be attached at the request of a consulted Member State. Where the ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible considers that a specific hit triggered during the processing of the application constitutes a false hit or where the manual processing shows that there were no grounds for refusing a travel authorisation, it should be able to attach a flag to the travel authorisation it issues to facilitate border checks by providing border authorities with information related to the verifications that have been carried out and to limit the negative consequences of false hits on travellers. Operational instructions for border authorities for handling travel authorisations should be provided in a practical handbook.
