05/01/2012 By 1 Comment

Civil rights advocacy group, The Sikh Coalition, y released a mobile application on iPhones and Android phones giving passengers who feel they’ve been racially or religiously profiled a way to speak out against TSA screeners with the Transportation Security Administration.

“The free mobile app, FlyRights, prompts disgruntled passengers with questions and allows them to quickly check the basis on which they feel they’ve been discriminated, then name the airport where the incident occurred, the airline and the flight number.”

The submitted complaints are  forwarded to the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security.

The complainant can also write a brief summary of the incident and include the badge number of the TSA agent.
