CHARLOTTE — Families flying with children may soon find it easier to get through TSA thanks to a new bill that could expand family lanes.
The proposed ‘Improving Travel for American Families Act’ passed the United States House on Wednesday.
Those dedicated security lanes are for parents with kids 12 years old and under. If the bill passes, more family lanes could be tested at select airports across the country.

Currently, there are only 13 airports in the nation with dedicated family lanes, two of which are in the Carolinas at Charlotte Douglas and Charleston International.
The bill is now in the Senate.
