Restricting airport access for representatives of state sponsors of terrorism.
This Act aims to enhance airport security by prohibiting access to restricted areas (such as secured, sterile, and air cargo areas) for individuals acting on behalf of countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism. For citizens, this translates into a potentially higher level of security during air travel and within airport infrastructure. The change primarily affects administrative and security procedures, without directly altering passengers' daily rights.
