Summary

The review shall include an assessment of whether the TSA effectively manages the consistency of the application of protocols to the screening of such products; the need for the TSA to update and revise procedures for screening such products; whether the TSA effectively tracks passenger complaints related to such screening to monitor trends and identify inconsistencies; the practices of the TSA with respect to communications and information sharing with passengers, air carriers, and airports relating to protocols for such screening; and the policies of the TSA regarding the screening of passengers with nursing products, including the extent to which such passengers are more likely to receive secondary screening.
