To authorize an extension and expansion of the reimbursable screening services program of the Transportation Security Administration, and for other purposes.
Summary
HR9391, introduced in the House on June 23, 2026, authorizes an extension and expansion of TSA's reimbursable screening services program but remains at the earliest legislative stage—referred to committee with no funding attached. The bill is procedural and permissive, authorizing TSA to offer expanded screening for a fee to transportation operators. No real data provided for market prices; analysis focuses on structural impact. The bill's early status and lack of appropriation mean no near-term revenue impact for any transportation company, including UPS, FedEx, and major airlines.

Key Takeaways
- 1.HR9391 is an early-stage authorization bill that expands TSA's voluntary fee-for-service screening program; no money is appropriated and no company sees a revenue impact.
- 2.The bill's permissive nature and lack of funding mean zero near-term financial impact on any transportation company, including $UPS, $FDX, $UAL, $DAL, $LUV, $CSX, and $UNP.
- 3.With only one sponsor, one cosponsor, and no companion bill, legislative momentum is minimal; investors should not trade on this bill.
Market Implications
No disclosed market price data exists for this analysis. The bill's current structure—a permissive, unfunded authorization—provides no basis for market moves in transportation stocks. If the bill advances to a funded, mandated expansion, tickers like UPS and FDX could see modest operational benefits at specific screening hubs, but such a scenario is speculative given early stage. Real market data would be needed to assess any price movement.
Full Analysis
What Happened: On June 23, 2026, Representative Andrew Garbarino (R-NY-2) introduced HR9391, 'To authorize an extension and expansion of the reimbursable screening services program of the Transportation Security Administration, and for other purposes.' The bill was referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security. It is in the early stage of the legislative process, with only three actions on record: introduction and referral. The bill has one cosponsor (not named), indicating limited initial support.
The Money Trail: This is an authorization bill, not an appropriation. It authorizes TSA to expand its existing reimbursable screening program—where private entities pay TSA a fee for screening services at airports or other transportation facilities—to additional locations and types of screening services. It does not allocate any specific dollar amount. Actual funding for any expansion would require a separate appropriations bill. The mechanism is purely permissive: transportation operators may opt into the program on a fee-for-service basis. No mandates, penalties, or direct procurement are included.
Convergence Analysis: No related signals, procurement, or presidential actions are provided in the input data. Therefore, convergence analysis is not applicable. This bill stands alone as a narrow, early-stage proposal.
Structural Winners and Losers: The bill is neutral for all affected subsectors because it is early-stage and permissive. Potential future beneficiaries could be passenger airlines (UAL, DAL, LUV) and cargo carriers (UPS, FDX) if they choose to pay TSA for expanded screening that improves throughput—but that would increase their costs, not provide revenue. Rail operators (CSX, UNP) have minimal exposure. There are no clear winners or losers at this stage.
Timeline: The bill is at the beginning of the legislative process: referred to the Homeland Security Committee. It must pass that committee, pass the House, then the Senate, and be signed into law. Given it is a late-session introduction (June 2026 of the 119th Congress), passage is uncertain. A companion bill in the Senate is not identified. Legislative velocity is low—only three identical actions on a single day.

What the bill does
same as above: expansion of TSA's reimbursable screening services program
Who must act
FedEx Express, as an air cargo operator, eligible to opt into expanded reimbursable TSA screening services
What happens
FedEx could access additional TSA screening capacity at new or expanded locations on a fee-for-service basis, potentially reducing screening bottlenecks and cargo handling times
Stock impact
FedEx may gain operational flexibility at select cargo screening locations, but the program expansion is permissive and fee-based; no mandated change in operations or costs; revenue impact negligible against $90.2B revenue
What the bill does
same: expansion of TSA reimbursable screening program to additional locations/services
Who must act
passenger airlines that voluntarily use TSA screening services under the expanded program
What happens
airlines may pay TSA fees for additional screening capabilities at new airports or for new service types (e.g., more efficient checkpoint lanes), potentially reducing passenger wait times and airport congestion
Stock impact
United Airlines might use additional TSA services at peak airports to improve passenger throughput, but the bill authorizes expansion without appropriating funds; no near-term revenue or cost impact; revenue impact negligible against $53.7B revenue

FURTHER MODIFYING THE SCOPE OF PRODUCTS OF CANADA SUBJECT TO THE ADDITIONAL DUTIES IMPOSED TO OFFSET CANADIAN DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH RESPECT TO MOTOR VEHICLES
This proclamation modifies the list of Canadian products subject to a 50% additional ad valorem duty imposed under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, removing some products from the duty and adding others, effective October 30, 2026. The action is part of an ongoing dispute over Canada's motor vehicle tariff scheme and is intended to offset discrimination against U.S. commerce. The President directs implementation through the Harmonized Tariff Schedule and authorizes U.S. Customs and Border Protection to issue rules.
RESTORING AMERICAN SALTWATER ANGLING AND RECREATION
This executive order directs federal agencies (primarily NOAA and the Department of Commerce) to shift fisheries management toward prioritizing recreational fishing over commercial interests by modernizing data collection, replacing outdated mail-in surveys with real-time mobile reporting, and allowing state-collected data to substitute for federal data when error rates are lower. It also mandates reviewing and potentially revising National Standards under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, rescinding regulations that restrict marine access, and launching pilot programs for iconic fisheries like Atlantic striped bass, with the goal of boosting the $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation sector.
Excluding Certain Canadian Products from Importation into the United States in Response to Continued Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States with Respect to Motor Vehicles
This proclamation bans imports of certain Canadian products, escalating a trade dispute over Canada's motor vehicle tariffs. It builds on prior actions under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose an import exclusion, effective September 29, 2026, for goods currently subject to a 50% duty. The measure directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement the ban and removes these products from the tariff regime, potentially disrupting supply chains in automotive and related sectors.
