It would be interesting to know how “good faith” will be defined/determined.

Another one of those devil in the details kind of thing.

Don’t get me wrong I am for this amendment.

Well, an "acting in good faith" clause is a necessary detail. Think it over. You could have someone who has a malicious grudge against someone else, and reports him or her out of spite. That shouldn't be protected. And, even more seriously, you don't want to write a law so carelessly that it would give terrorist agents freedom to go to the airport and report people, in order to muddy the waters.
