Traveler Privacy Protection Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill puts limits on how the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) can use facial recognition technology at airports. The TSA would have to tell passengers before scanning their face and get their clear permission first, and anyone who says no must be allowed to show a regular ID like a driver's license without being treated worse or facing longer screening. The bill also stops the TSA from using the technology to track or watch people outside of security checkpoints, bans sharing the facial data it collects, and limits how long that data can be stored. These same rules would also apply in other situations where the TSA uses the technology, such as screening airport employees.
