WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A bipartisan group of senators on Wednesday proposed spending hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in new modern baggage screening systems and shrink airport security lines as traffic hits new records. Senator Jerry Moran, a Republican who chairs a subcommittee on aviation, along with Democratic Senators Chris Van Hollen and Michael Bennet and Republican John Boozman, said since 2014 more than $13 billion in security ticket fees have been diverted to non-security uses. The bill would tap those funds for enhanced security efforts as air travel set a record last year and is expected to set a new one this year.
