Families with young children could get faster airport security screening at some airports.
A new bill would let the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) try out a program to speed up security checks for adults traveling with children aged 12 and under. This pilot program would aim to make flying easier for families at certain airports, but only if security rules are fully followed. The program would last for two years.
Today, adult passengers and accompanying child passengers typically go through standard airport security screening. After this bill, the TSA Administrator would be allowed to set up a pilot program at some airports to offer faster security screening for adults traveling with children aged 12 and under, as long as security is not compromised. This program would run for two years.
