FAA Safety Assurance System (SAS) API
Single-operation submission API for passenger discrepancy reporting into the FAA Safety Assurance System. Air carriers submit hazardous-material discrepancies discovered on passengers or in passenger baggage.

The request body carries passenger PII and a PNR locator and is the most sensitive payload in the DOT surface area.
