The U.S. Transportation Security Administration, under court order, will start a rulemaking process on its airport screening machines, including collecting and analyzing public comments about the full-body pat-downs used when passengers opt out of scanning.
The proposed regulation was posted on a Federal Register website today, said David Castelveter, an agency spokesman. The TSA isn’t proposing any change to its current screening procedures using the machines, known as advanced-imaging technology, he said.
