AI Summary
This bill, called the Strengthening Enforcement and Criminalizing Unlawful Records Enabling Flights Act (or the SECURE Flights Act), directs the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to prohibit the use of certain identification documents, such as immigration enforcement forms or arrival/departure records, at airport security checkpoints. If an individual presents a prohibited identification document, the TSA must notify immigration agencies to determine if the individual is in violation of any terms of release from custody. The bill also requires the TSA to collect biometric information, such as fingerprints or facial photographs, from individuals seeking to enter the sterile area of an airport who do not present a covered identification document and cannot be verified as a U.S. national. The biometric data collected would be submitted to the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT).
