Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act

Requires TSA to issue hygiene guidance for breast milk and baby formula during airport security screening.

Tradeoff

Adds a federal requirement for TSA to set standards for handling infant nutrition products at security checkpoints. No fiscal cost identified in the bill.

What's in it

See official bill text

Costs less than $500,000 over 2025-2030 for a Inspector General audit.

The $500,000 is just the federal cost to conduct an audit of TSA screening guidance — the policy's real effect is on TSA procedures and passenger experience at airport security checkpoints, not on the federal budget.
