The FASTER Act would change how the federal government uses aviation security fees collected from airline passengers. Currently, a portion of these fees must be sent to the general U.S. Treasury rather than being used entirely for airport security screening costs. This bill would repeal that requirement, allowing all security fee revenue to stay in a dedicated account for the Transportation Security Administration to spend directly on aviation security activities and screening services. The legislation would affect the TSA's budget and funding flexibility for aviation security operations. The bill was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, with no specified timeline or funding amount mentioned in the text itself.
