Bill overview
The Screening With Dignity Act aims to improve the experience for travelers who identify as transgender, wear religious headwear, or use other articles of faith during airport security screenings. It directs the TSA to develop respectful screening procedures, train officers on these procedures, and protect passengers from intrusive practices like unnecessary image viewing and pat-downs. The bill also requires the TSA to study and potentially replace advanced imaging technology to ensure it doesn’t disproportionately flag these travelers and to minimize the need for physical screening.
