Lets active-duty military and their families get faster airport security screening at some airports.

This bill would let the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) create a pilot program for faster airport security screening. Active-duty military personnel and their families could use special lanes at certain airports. This aims to make travel easier for them than standard screening.

What Would Change

Currently, active-duty military personnel and their families typically go through standard airport security screening, unless they already qualify for programs like TSA PreCheck on their own. If this bill becomes law, the TSA could create a pilot program for three years. This program would allow active-duty military and their families to use expedited security screening lanes at certain airports, making their travel faster.

Key Provisions

Lets the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) set up a three-year pilot program for faster airport security screening for active-duty military and their families.
Requires the TSA to make sure all passengers in the pilot program are screened according to existing security rules, like the Secure Flight program.
Prevents anyone from using expedited lanes unless their boarding pass shows they are eligible for faster screening.
Allows local TSA managers to open or close screening lanes and move staff around to keep security effective and efficient.
Directs the TSA to prioritize airports near military bases with many active-duty personnel when choosing locations for the pilot program.
