Garbarino | G000597 | garbarino.house.gov | garbarino | https://garbarino.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. –– This week, the House of Representatives passed Chairman Andrew Garbarino's (R-NY) Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026 (RSSP Extension Act) as part of a slate of 10 bipartisan bills advanced by the House Committee on Homeland Security. The legislation expands TSA's Reimbursable Screening Services Program (RSSP) and extends the pilot program to increase airport screening capabilities, ease congestion at main security checkpoints, and enhance the passenger experience without compromising safety. “In the 25 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks, both the threats facing our nation and the demands placed on our aviation system have evolved drastically. We have a responsibility to ensure America’s aviation security can keep pace,” Chairman Garbarino said. “The best security measures are those that protect Americans while minimizing unnecessary burdens on the traveling public. Passing the Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026 is an important step toward ensuring TSA has the resources needed to succeed in its no-fail mission and delivering a more seamless travel experience for the American people.” This legislation is especially important for Long Island, where families, businesses, and visitors rely on safe and efficient air travel through nearby airports every day. By expanding TSA's screening capabilities and reducing congestion at security checkpoints, the bill will help strengthen aviation security while making travel more efficient for Long Islanders and millions of Americans. ### | 1 | 2026-07-17T07:15:58Z | 2026-07-17T07:17:05Z |
