End Special Treatment for Congress at Airports Act of 2026

This legislation, titled the "End Special Treatment for Congress at Airports Act of 2026," aims to eliminate preferential security screening for Members of Congress at airports. It explicitly prohibits the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from using funds to provide expedited or preferential access or exempting Members from standard screening procedures based on their official position. The bill clarifies that it does not limit the TSA's authority for general risk-based security programs or prevent Members from participating in publicly available Trusted Traveler Programs , such as Global Entry or PreCheck, if not based on their official status. These programs are defined to include various government initiatives that identify low-risk travelers. Finally, the legislation requires the TSA Administrator to update policies and report to Congress on the Act's implementation and compliance within 180 days.
