AI Summary
This bill, the Strengthening Enforcement to Curtail Unlawful, Risky Entrance to Flights Act of 2023 (also known as the SECURE Flights Act of 2023), directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to prohibit the use of certain identification documents, such as immigration enforcement forms, at airport security checkpoints. It also requires the TSA to collect biometric information, such as fingerprints and facial photographs, from individuals seeking entry into "sterile areas" (secure areas of the airport) who do not present a covered identification document and cannot be verified as U.S. nationals. The collected biometric data will then be submitted to the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) maintained by the Department of Homeland Security.
