The Enhanced Federal Security Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-547, 114 Stat. 2738-2740) amends the federal criminal code to prohibit: (1) entry by false pretenses to any real property, vessel, or aircraft of the United States, or any secure area of an airport; and (2) the transfer or receipt, in interstate or foreign commerce, of a counterfeit police badge, or of a genuine police badge to an individual not authorized to possess it.

It makes it a defense to a prosecution under this Act that the badge is used, or intended to be used, exclusively as a memento or in a collection or exhibit, for decorative purposes, for a dramatic presentation, or for any other recreational purpose.

It sets penalties of: (1) a fine, imprisonment for not more five years, or both, if the offense is committed with the intent to commit a felony; or (2) a fine, imprisonment for not more than six months, or both, in any other case. (Bill: H.R. 4827)
