40-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
The bill extends the "One-Stop Program," which lets passengers arriving from certain approved foreign airports skip additional TSA screening on connecting U.S. flights if their bags were already screened overseas. It updates baggage re-screening rules, requiring no passenger access to bags until final destination, clear images sent to CBP before arrival, and no flags on passengers or bags. The pilot program length is extended from six to ten years.
Who does it affect?
This affects international travelers connecting through U.S. airports from qualifying foreign departure points, plus TSA, CBP, and participating airlines and airports.
Why does it matter?
The extension allows more time to test whether streamlined screening works safely before deciding whether to make it permanent or end it.
