This bill extends TSA's reimbursable screening services program, which lets airports pay private companies to handle security screening, through fiscal year 2031 instead of letting it expire in 2026. It also raises the cap on participating airports from eight to fourteen.
Airports, airlines, and travelers at participating airports are directly affected, along with private security screening companies that contract with them. TSA staffing and resource management is also affected at a larger number of airports.
More airports could opt to pay for private screening instead of relying solely on TSA's standard staffing process, changing how screening is delivered at those locations. The general flying public may be affected indirectly through changes in screening operations at participating airports.
