Congresswoman Sheri Biggs (R-SC-03) announced that her Improving Travel for Military Members Act passed the House with unanimous consent, advancing legislation designed to make airport travel easier for active-duty service members and their families through dedicated TSA screening lanes at airports.
More than 1.3 million Americans currently serve on active duty, many of whom travel under deployment orders, PCS moves, or emergency assignments with little notice. Nearly 889,000 children are part of active-duty military families, making airport travel one more challenge for families already carrying the burdens of military life.
“Our service members and their families already sacrifice through deployments, long separations, and constant moves. Making travel easier is one practical way we can honor their service and show them the respect they more than deserve,” said Congresswoman Biggs.
The Improving Travel for Military Members Act establishes a pilot program at a minimum of five airports to implement priority TSA screening procedures for active-duty military personnel and accompanying family members, with preference given to airports located near large military installations.
The legislation reflects Congresswoman Biggs’ continued commitment to supporting military readiness, strengthening military families, and ensuring America honors those who serve not only in words, but through action.
