Legislation has passed in the US Senate that would provide veterans with service-connected disabilities with expedited screening under the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) PreCheck program. The bill passed the House of Representatives by unanimous consent and now heads to the President’s desk to be signed into law.
TSA PreCheck is already offered to active duty, reserves and National Guard service members at no cost. The Veterans Expedited TSA Screening (VETS) Safe Travel Act will expand this program to include veterans who are amputees, paralyzed or blind. Passing through airport security with prosthetics, wheelchairs or other mobility aids can present a challenge to these individuals when traveling.
