Your MoneyTransparency & AccountabilityFaster airport lines for troops and their family — but only if TSA chooses to test it.
Your Money
TSA could set up special lanes at some airports so active-duty members and the family flying with them get through security faster. The bill would let TSA do this, but would not make it.
To use a PreCheck or other fast lane, your boarding pass must show you qualify — screeners could not wave in anyone else. That rule covers all fliers, not just troops.
Transparency & Accountability
If TSA starts the pilot, it would run for three years and then stop. Keeping it going would take a new law from Congress.
More about this bill
If you serve on active duty, you and your family could wait less at airport security. The TSA — the agency that screens travelers at airports — could open faster lanes for you. But TSA does not have to do this. The agency would decide within 60 days of the bill becoming law. Airports near large military bases would go first. Everyone would still be screened based on their normal background check. TSA staff could not wave anyone into a PreCheck lane unless their boarding pass shows they qualify. Local TSA managers could open or close lanes as crowds change. The test would run for three years. TSA would report to Congress nine months in. The House passed the bill in July 2026. It now sits with a Senate committee.
