The new imaging technology from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is designed to reduce pat-downs and better accommodate minority communities.
White House correspondent reports on the Biden administration's pledge to include transgender option for passports on 'Special Report.'has been spending $18.6 million it received in funding in order to develop, test and deploy"non-binary screening systems," according to a new report.
=A Transportation Security Administration agent's patch is seen as she helps travelers place their bags through the 3-D scanner at the Miami International Airport on May 21, 2019 in Miami, Florida.=TSA data shows the agency receives 26,542 screening complaints annually. 6% of those complaints are from members of the LGBTQ community. That number tracks roughly with census data from Gallup, which notes that 7% of people identify as LGBTQ.
The TSA previously updated its standard operating procedures for security personnel to permit less invasive screening measures for certain passengers that trigger an AIT scanner in"sensitive areas." The change was made to reduce pat downs without compromising and was in effect until the TSA’s gender-neutral AIT technology was implemented.
One month later, the TSA announced measures to implement gender-neutral screening at airports, in order to better accommodate transgender, non-binary and gender-nonconforming passengers at airport checkpoints. TSA PreCheck was also overhauled to be more"inclusive," with the option to include an"X" gender marker option on the application. In April, TSA began allowing enrollees to self-select their gender regardless of the gender listed on a person’s identification documents.
