Proposed changes to the One-Stop Security program
The One-Stop Security program currently allows eligible passengers and their checked baggage arriving in the United States from specific foreign airports to bypass additional TSA security re-screening when transferring to connecting flights.
HR 9388 proposes two primary modifications to this framework:
Program Extension: The bill extends the authorization for the pilot program from its current expiration date of December 23, 2028, to December 23, 2032.
Baggage Security Revisions: The proposal updates the criteria for excluding checked baggage from re-screening. Specifically, it requires that passengers be unable to access their checked baggage until they reach their final destination. Additionally, it mandates that U.S. Customs and Border Protection must receive timely images of the baggage from the participating foreign airport before the passenger arrives in the United States.
