This bill lets TSA create a test program at certain airports to streamline security screening for parents or guardians traveling with children age 12 and under. Travelers would still be screened based on their existing risk status, and no one could use an expedited lane like TSA PreCheck unless already qualified. The pilot would last two years, with TSA briefing Congress on progress within about nine months of starting.
Families flying with young children at participating airports, plus TSA staff and airport operators managing screening lanes.
Airports chosen for the pilot would need enough space and staff to add or expand lanes without weakening security elsewhere, requiring careful management by TSA and local operators.
