End Special Treatment for Congress at Airports Act of 2026
Airport Security: Ending Special Treatment for Congress
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill would stop Members of Congress from getting special treatment at airport security. It bans the TSA from using federal money to give lawmakers faster or easier access through security lines just because of their job.
- Lawmakers would have to follow the same standard screening rules as regular travelers. They would no longer be allowed to bypass security checkpoints or jump to the front of the line based on their position in government.
- Members of Congress could still use programs like TSA PreCheck or Global Entry, but only if they apply and qualify just like any other citizen. They would not get these perks automatically or for free because they are in office.
- The head of the TSA would have to update the agency's rules to make sure no one is getting a 'fast pass' because of their political title. The agency would also have to report back to Congress within six months to prove they are following the new law.
