This bill clarifies federal rules allowing the Transportation Security Administration to use "detection at range technology" for screening passengers at airports. Detection at range technology refers to scanning devices that can identify potential threats from a distance without requiring passengers to pass through traditional checkpoint equipment. The legislation amends existing aviation security law to explicitly permit this technology as part of passenger screening procedures, subject to various federal requirements and oversight provisions. The bill also ensures that the use of such technology includes consideration of civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy protections. No specific funding or timeline is established in the legislation; it simply provides legal clarification to allow TSA to deploy these screening methods at airports.
