Protecting Passengers from Discrimination Act
This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to evaluate how well the Transportation Security Administration follows non-discrimination rules during passenger screenings. The report, due within 90 days of enactment and then every year, will be sent to specific congressional committees to highlight any areas needing improvement. It directly affects the TSA by mandating regular oversight of its security practices to ensure they do not discriminate against travelers. The legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability without changing the actual security procedures themselves.
