Active-duty service members and their families who travel through airport security could get access to faster screening lanes under a new Transportation Security Administration pilot program created by this legislation. The TSA would choose airports near military bases and give priority to locations with room for dedicated lanes, though travelers would still need to meet the same vetting standards used for TSA PreCheck. The program is optional — TSA can decide whether to launch it at all — and would run for three years before ending automatically. Within nine months of starting the program, TSA must brief Congress on how it's working. No cost or funding figures were specified for the pilot.
