What it does
The bill tells the TSA to start a three-year test program. Active-duty military people and their families can use faster security lines. These lines are at airports near military bases. They must still pass TSA PreCheck checks and security reviews. The TSA must report to Congress after nine months.
Who it affects
Active-duty military people and their families can move through airport security faster. Security checks stay the same for everyone.
One thing to notice
The TSA can pick which airports get the program. The bill does not say exactly how the TSA should choose them.
