Summary

Fair, Accurate, Secure and Timely Redress Act of 2007 or the FAST Redress Act of 2007 - Amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish: (1) a timely and fair process for individuals who believe they have been delayed or prohibited from boarding a commercial aircraft because they were wrongly identified as a threat; and (2) an Office of Appeals and Redress within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to implement, coordinate, and execute the process. Requires the process to include the establishment of a method for maintaining a Comprehensive Cleared List of individuals misidentified who have corrected erroneous information. Directs the Office to ensure that the List contains information determined to authenticate such individuals' identities. Directs the Secretary to: (1) transmit to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and specified other entities and air carriers that use the Terrorist Screening Database or the List, information necessary to resolve misidentifications and improve administration of the advanced passenger prescreening system and to reduce false positives; and (2) ensure that the List is considered when assessing an individual's security risk. Directs the Secretary, with DHS's Chief Privacy Officer, to require that DHS employees complete mandatory privacy and security training before being authorized to handle personally identifiable information. Requires the Office to establish at each airport at which DHS has a significant presence a process to provide information to passengers to begin the redress process.
