H.R. 6420 · 114th Congress
Screening With Dignity Act of 2016
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Screening With Dignity Act of 2016
This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to:
- develop procedures to appropriately screen self-identified transgender air passengers, and
- conduct in-person training of all Transportation Security Administration Officers on such procedures.
The FAA shall separately study and report on:
- the cost and feasibility of retrofitting advanced image technology screening equipment to distinguish between foreign objects and human body parts; and
- the disparate impact that such technology has on self-identified transgender passengers as opposed to the general public, including an examination of instances since 2010 in which such passengers were required to undergo a secondary screening after alarming the advanced imaging technology.
