Plain-English summary
Military Standards for Airport Security Screeners Act - Amends the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to: (1) require the Immigration and Naturalization Service, upon a Federal agency airport security screener-related inquiry, to verify whether an alien has an immigration status that would render such alien eligible to serve in the United States Armed Forces; and (2) state that such an alien's immigration status would not make him or her ineligible for an airport security screener's position.
Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for naturalization through active-duty service during Operation Enduring Freedom (such period to begin as of September 19, 2001).
