GAMA Applauds Passage Of Mica TSA Amendment

The TSA's Authoritarian Ways Get Reigned In

GAMA is applauding passage of the Mica-Petri-Ehlers-Graves Amendment to H.R. 2200, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Authorization Act.
 
The amendment limits the TSA's ability to use security directives to circumvent the normal rulemaking process without consideration of operational impacts or economic burdens. While the amendment still leaves the TSA plenty of latitude to respond to imminent threats, it brings a common sense approach to the agency's use of security directives. 

Mica’s amendment was designed to reign in TSA mandates and required that "...any regulation or SD in effect longer than 180 days would have to go through the public rulemaking process."

"We very much appreciate Congressman Mica's leadership on this important amendment and the hard work of Congressmen Tom Petri (D-WI), Sam Graves (R-MO) and Vern Ehlers (R-MI) to help get it passed," said GAMA President and CEO, Pete Bunce. 

"This amendment is critical to ensuring that our aviation system remains both secure and fair to those who use it."
