Improving Travel for American Families Act
This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to establish a pilot program to implement alternative security screenings for passengers traveling with children who are 12 years old and younger.
Specifically, TSA must implement alternative security screening lanes and security screening approaches for passengers traveling with children in order to support and facilitate the ease of travel for these passengers.
TSA must implement the pilot program at a minimum of five airports, with priority given to airports that have a high volume of passengers traveling with children.
