Bill > S3602

This bill, the Strengthening Enforcement to Curtail Unlawful, Risky Entrance to Flights Act of 2022 (also known as the SECURE Flights Act of 2022), directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to prohibit the use of certain identification documents, such as immigration enforcement forms and Customs and Border Protection records, at airport security checkpoints. It also requires the TSA to collect biometric information, like fingerprints and photographs, from individuals seeking entry into "sterile areas" (secure airport areas) who do not present a valid, covered identification document and cannot be verified as a U.S. national. The collected biometric data must be submitted to the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). The bill aims to enhance airport security and immigration enforcement by restricting the use of certain identification documents and expanding the collection of biometric data.
