Key Points

  • This bill would let Members of the House and Senators skip certain federal airport passenger and baggage screening.
  • It tells the Transportation Security Administration to grant the exemption when a lawmaker travels between their home airport and anywhere else.
  • If it became law, regular travelers would still go through the usual screening, while lawmakers could have different rules.
  • The bill also changes earlier law so the special treatment for lawmakers is written directly into federal policy.
