The SAFEGUARDS Act addresses a critical issue—ending the decades-long scam where $19B+ from the 9/11 Passenger Security Fee was diverted to general funds instead of aviation security. Taxpayers paid $XXXX per ticket expecting cutting-edge screening tech, yet TSA’s own reports show key systems like Credential Authentication won’t deploy until 2049 due to funding raids. This isn’t fiscal policy—it’s bureaucratic theft.

While the bill corrects this misallocation, real accountability requires auditing every dollar spent since 2002. Why did Congress let XX% of these fees fund non-security pork?

Modernizing checkpoints starts with stopping the grift, not just redirecting future cash.
