Aviation Security Fees Fully Dedicated to Airport Screening and Threat Elimination.

This bill aims to ensure that all revenue collected from passengers as aviation security fees is used exclusively to finance the costs of airport security screening and related activities. Currently, a portion of these fees is diverted to the general fund of the Treasury, reducing funds available for security. This change is intended to increase resources for screening personnel and threat elimination, potentially leading to enhanced safety during air travel.
