US House passes bill to restrict TSA Pre-Check
The US House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation to ensure only travellers who have undergone required background and security checks are able to use TSA’s Pre-Check screening lanes. The “Pre-Check is Pre-Check Act" passed by a voice vote Sept 5, and would guarantee only travellers who have enrolled in a designated trusted traveller program can use Pre-Check screening lanes at airports nationwide. The law would allow an exception for passengers younger than age 12 or older than 75 traveling on the same itinerary as a trusted traveller program member. Critics of TSA’s handling of the Pre-Check program allege low enrolment and a growing volume of travellers have led the agency to expand its scope to include many low-risk passengers who are not qualified to use the expedited lanes. <br/>
