§44941 Immunity for reporting suspicious activities

Summary

Airlines and their employees who voluntarily report suspicious activity that might be air piracy, a threat to a plane or passengers, or terrorism to the Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, any federal, state, or local law enforcement officer, or any airport or airline security officer cannot be sued or held civilly responsible under federal or state law for making that report. The protection does not apply if the person knew the report was false or if they made the report with reckless disregard for whether it was true or false.
