Airline passengers already pay a 9/11 Security Fee. This bill would steer set amounts of that money each year into airport security projects and checkpoint technology. It does not say ticket costs would change, but it tells TSA to collect enough to meet those targets.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Latest action on H.R. 8770: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects airline passengers, TSA, airports, and the federal budget process. Passengers pay the 9/11 Security Fee. TSA and airports would get a clearer stream of money for security equipment and checkpoint upgrades. Congress and the executive branch would have less freedom to use that fee money for other purposes.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it changes where airline security fee money goes after passengers pay it. More of that money would be reserved for airport screening systems, security projects, and checkpoint technology. That could help TSA and airports plan upgrades with more certainty. The bill does not state whether ticket costs or total federal spending would rise or fall.

The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
