Aviation Safety: Funds for Advanced Passenger Screening Technology
This act aims to ensure that fees collected from airline passengers, known as the "9/11 Security Fee," are fully dedicated to improving flight safety. This means more money for modern scanners and equipment at airports, enhancing travel security. These funds will not be diverted for other purposes, aiming to increase public trust.
Key points
Aviation security fees will be fully allocated to upgrading airport screening technologies, such as scanners and threat detection systems.
Starting in 2026, $500 million annually from these fees will go to the Aviation Security Capital Fund, with an additional $250 million annually to the new Aviation Security Checkpoint Technology Fund.
The act aims to end the diversion of security fee revenues for other purposes by 2027, ensuring passenger money is used solely for their safety.
