Blocks federal agencies from using TSA data for immigration and protects travelers' free speech rights.
This bill would stop the Department of Homeland Security from using certain passenger information, like TSA data. This data would not be used for U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement tasks. It would also prevent people from losing their Trusted Traveler program benefits, such as PreCheck or Global Entry, because of activities protected by the First Amendment. This means more privacy for travelers and protection for free speech.
Today, the Department of Homeland Security can use personal flight passenger data from the TSA and private companies. This data can be used for U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement tasks. It can also deny or end Trusted Traveler programs for reasons that might include free speech activities. If this bill passes, these agencies would be blocked from using that specific data. Also, people could not lose their Trusted Traveler status for exercising their First Amendment rights.
