I'm curious about this new bill protecting passengers from discrimination. Does it apply to all forms of transportation? How will it be enforced? I'm looking forward to seeing how it benefits all passengers, including myself.

This bill is so dumb, like why do we need an assessment every year to see if TSA is following their own rules? Just do your job right the first time, geez. It's a waste of time and money. #ridiculous
