Show full summary
- Families and service members: Eligible active-duty personnel and accompanying family members could use dedicated expedited screening lanes at participating airports, making lines faster and more predictable. Screening would follow Secure Flight vetting and passengers could not use TSA PreCheck lanes unless their boarding pass shows PreCheck.
- Airports and local TSA managers: Airports near military installations and those with space for dedicated lanes would get priority for the pilot. Local TSA management could open or close checkpoint lanes and reassign staff to match passenger volume.
- Oversight and timeline: The TSA Administrator would brief relevant congressional committees within 9 months of starting the pilot. The pilot would run for 3 years after establishment.

Faster airport screening for military
If enacted, the bill would let the TSA Administrator start a pilot to speed up security screening for traveling active-duty military and their accompanying family members. The Administrator could begin the pilot within 60 days after enactment and it would run for three years after it starts. The pilot would prioritize airports near military bases and those with room for dedicated lanes. TSA would still require Secure Flight vetting, would not let people use PreCheck lanes unless their boarding pass shows eligibility, and would let local TSA managers open, close, or reallocate lanes as needed. The Administrator would brief specified House and Senate committees within nine months after the pilot begins.
