James R. Walkinshaw Democrat
“I support this bill. It makes an airport program permanent so military members and their families can go to the front of security lines. This will make travel less stressful for them.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9328, the Improving Travel for Military Members Act. Our military servicemembers and their families are required to travel regularly, uprooting their lives to move to new locations. Last year, TSA initiated a pilot program at select airports to provide Active-Duty military and their families front-of-line access to security screening. H.R. 9328 would cement TSA’s ongoing pilot program and codify requirements for appropriate security protocols. Expediting wait times for servicemembers and their families makes travel a little bit easier and a little bit less stressful for them, and I support advancing this effort. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
