FAST Act
The Federal Agents Secure Travel Act allows federal law enforcement officers and their young children to use expedited security screening at no cost. This change expands the existing PreCheck Program, which is typically paid for, to include these specific individuals without requiring them to pay a fee. The law defines eligible officers according to existing federal standards and gives the Transportation Security Administration authority to set the necessary rules for implementation.
