``3559. Privacy breach requirements.''.

SOLUTION: Safe and Secure Federal Websites Act of 2015 This bill establishes security and privacy requirements for new federal websites that collect personally identifiable information (PII) (i.e., information that can be used to distinguish or trace the identity of an individual or that is linked or linkable to an individual).  (Sec. 2) A federal agency may not deploy or make available to the public a new federal PII website until the agency's chief information officer (CIO) certifies to Congress that the website is fully functional and secure. The CIO must make such certification within 90 days after enactment of this Act. After such 90-day period, any new federal PII website that has not been certified must be rendered inaccessible until certification is submitted.  The prohibition does not apply to a website that is: (1) operated entirely by an entity that is independent of the federal government, or (2) in a development or testing phase (beta website). The exemption for beta websites applies only if: (1) a member of the public may access PII-related portions of the website only after executing an agreement that acknowledges the risks involved; and (2) no agency compelled, enjoined, or otherwise provided incentives for a member of the public to access such website.  The bill defines a "new federal PII website" as a website that: (1) is operated by (or under contract with) an agency; (2) elicits, collects, stores, or maintains PII and is accessible to the public; and (3) is first made accessible to the public and collects or stores PII on or after October 1, 2012. The bill also sets forth requirements that must be met to deem a new federal PII website as "secure." (Sec. 3) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) must establish and oversee policies and procedures for federal agencies to follow in the event of a breach of information security involving the disclosure of PII, including: (1) notice, not later than 72 hours after discovery of a breach or possible breach, to individuals whose PII could be compromised; and (2) timely reporting to a federal cybersecurity center designated by the OMB and defined in this Act.  Agency heads must ensure that agency actions taken in response to a breach of information security involving the disclosure of PII comply with OMB policies and procedures established by this Act. The OMB must report to Congress, not later than March 1 of each year, on agency compliance with such policies and procedures.  A "federal cybersecurity center" is defined to include: (1) the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, (2) the Intelligence Community Incident Response Center, (3) the U.S. Cyber Command Joint Operations Center, (4) the National Cyber Investigative Task Force, (5) the Central Security Service Threat Operations Center of the National Security Agency, (6) the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, and (7) any center that the OMB determines is appropriate to carry out privacy breach notice and reporting requirements. 

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Securing Aircraft From Explosives 
Responsibly: Advanced Imaging Recognition Act of 2010'' or ``SAFER AIR 
Act of 2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On December 25, 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 
        national of Nigeria, allegedly attempted to detonate a 
        concentration of pentaerythritol tetranitrate aboard Northwest 
        Airlines Flight 253 as the aircraft prepared to land in 
        Detroit, Michigan.
            (2) Pentaerythritol tetranitrate is an explosive chemical 
        compound that cannot be detected by conventional metal 
        detection devices like those that Mr. Abdulmutallab allegedly 
        passed through at airport checkpoints in Nigeria and the 
        Netherlands.
            (3) However, detection devices employing advanced imaging 
        technology (formerly known as whole-body imaging), and other 
        technologies currently available, such as trace detection 
        equipment, can be used to identify or detect on-body plastic 
        explosives and other nonmetallic explosives, including 
        pentaerythritol tetranitrate, as well as other materials that 
        can be used as weapons.
            (4) Despite these capabilities, advanced imaging technology 
        has not been fully deployed in the United States or abroad. 
        Through 2009, the Department of Homeland Security used 40 
        advanced imaging technology units in 19 airports in the United 
        States. Only 6 of those airports used advanced imaging for 
        primary screening, and only then in a limited role at the 
        airport.
            (5) The Department of Homeland Security has announced plans 
        to deploy 950 additional advanced imaging technology units 
        through fiscal year 2011, for use at approximately 2,200 
        checkpoints at commercial airports.
            (6) Other detection technologies complement, and may be 
        used in combination with, advanced imaging technology units as 
        part of a multi-layered approach at the airport checkpoint, and 
        need to be tested and deployed more consistently. These 
        technologies include devices that detect traces of explosives 
        from swabs of passengers or carry-on baggage and advanced 
        technology machines that conduct multiple-view examinations of 
        carry-on baggage.
    (b) Sense of Congress on Privacy Concerns Related to the Use of 
Advanced Imaging Technology.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Department of Homeland Security should--
            (1) increase efforts to address privacy concerns with 
        respect to the screening of passengers at airports using 
        advanced imaging technology; and
            (2) conduct additional lab and operational testing of 
        advanced imaging technology and deploy, in a reasonable period 
        of time, technology--
                    (A) to standardize images produced using advanced 
                imaging technology;
                    (B) to remove personally identifying 
                characteristics from the images viewed by 
                transportation security officers, while providing such 
                officers with the information necessary to make a clear 
                assessment of the threat posed by individual 
                passengers; and
                    (C) to upgrade equipment to be able to detect new 
                threats without major capital expenditures.

SEC. 3. POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES WITH RESPECT TO PRIMARY SCREENING 
              TECHNOLOGIES AT AIRPORT CHECKPOINTS.

    It is the policy of the United States to aggressively seek, 
develop, and deploy, in a timely fashion and in sufficient numbers, 
primary screening technologies capable of detecting and protecting 
against threats to domestic and international aviation travel that 
cannot be effectively and efficiently detected by other technologies 
currently more commonly utilized in airports, such as metal detection.

SEC. 4. USE OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR SCREENING AIRCRAFT PASSENGERS.

    Section 44901 of title 49, United States Code, is amended by adding 
at the end the following:
    ``(l) Use of Advanced Technology for Screening Passengers.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall 
        ensure that advanced imaging technology and other advanced 
        technology with the capability to detect weapons, on-body 
        plastic explosives, and other nonmetallic explosives, are 
        deployed, individually or in combination with each other, in a 
        timely and effective manner for the primary screening of 
        aircraft passengers in accordance with this subsection.
            ``(2) Technological and operational certification.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Not later than 30 days after the 
                date of the enactment of the Securing Aircraft From 
                Explosives Responsibly: Advanced Imaging Recognition 
                Act of 2010, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall 
                certify to Congress that--
                            ``(i) the Department of Homeland Security 
                        has the capacity to deploy advanced technology 
                        described in subparagraph (B) at airport 
                        checkpoints to detect weapons, on-body plastic

SEC. 5. DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SCREENING TECHNOLOGIES.

    Nothing in this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, shall be 
construed to discourage the Secretary of Homeland Security from 
developing and deploying advanced technologies for aviation screening 
to protect the traveling public from emerging threats. The Secretary 
shall continue to develop and deploy such new advanced technologies.

    There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be 
necessary to carry out this Act and the amendments made by this Act.

SOLUTION:
Securing Aircraft From Explosives Responsibly: Advanced Imaging Recognition Act of 2010 or SAFER AIR Act of 2010 - Expresses the sense of Congress that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should: (1) increase efforts to address privacy concerns regarding the screening of passengers using advanced imaging technology at airports; and (2) conduct additional testing of advanced imaging technology; and (3) deploy technology to standardize images, remove personally identifying characteristics, while providing transportation security officers with necessary information, and upgrade equipment to detect new threats without major capital expenditures.

Declares it to be U.S. policy to aggressively seek, develop, and timely deploy primary screening technologies capable of detecting and protecting against threats to domestic and international aviation travel that cannot be effectively and efficiently detected by other technologies currently more commonly used, such as metal detectors.

Directs the Secretary to ensure that advanced imaging technology and other advanced technology with capability to detect weapons, on-body plastic explosives, and other nonmetallic explosives are timely deployed for the primary screening of aircraft passengers. Requires the Secretary to provide passengers with an option for primary screening other than the use of such technologies.

Requires all advanced imaging technology equipment used at airport checkpoints to be configured so that passenger: (1) images are not retained; and (2) facial features are blurred, while allowing detection of individual on-body threats. Prohibits DHS employees from having cameras or cell phones present while viewing such images. Requires such employees to communicate with other DHS employees using a wireless headset or another comparable method of communication that does not allow for the transmission of the image.
