Banning Abusive Passengers: New Rules for Flight Safety and Crew Protection.
This law establishes a federal ban on commercial flights for passengers who commit serious safety violations, assaults, or threats against crew members or other travelers. Individuals designated as "abusive passengers" will be placed on a TSA-maintained list, preventing them from boarding commercial aircraft. Furthermore, these passengers will permanently lose access to expedited screening programs like TSA PreCheck and Global Entry.
