Ensures airline security fees pay for TSA, keeping officers on duty even during government shutdowns.
This bill would make sure that the security fees you pay when flying are used only for aviation security. It would create a special fund for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to pay for its operations and staff. This means TSA officers would keep getting paid and working, even if there's a government shutdown.
Today, some of the security fees paid by airline passengers can be used for purposes other than aviation security, and TSA funding can be disrupted during government shutdowns. If this bill becomes law, all passenger security fees would go into a dedicated fund for aviation security. This fund would also ensure TSA personnel are paid and operations continue even if Congress doesn't pass a budget on time.
