S 4478 United States Senate · 118th Congress

SAFE Act

This bill prohibits the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from allowing representatives of countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism to enter specific airport security zones, including sterile areas, security ID display areas, secured areas, and air cargo areas. It requires the TSA Administrator to deny access to travelers from countries the Secretary of State identifies as having repeatedly supported international terrorism under specific U.S. laws. The law directly affects airport security operations and travelers from designated countries. It creates a new mandatory restriction on access to key airport areas based solely on country designation.
