A bipartisan group of congressmen has introduced a bill that would modify the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) authority to issue security directives (SD) without notice or public input.

H.R.3678 would amend the U.S. Code so that the TSA could not issue an SD immediately. Instead, the agency would need to submit the SD to the Transportation Security Oversight Board “to determine if the regulation or security directive is needed to respond to an imminent threat of finite duration.”
