If you're flying home from certain overseas airports where U.S. security already screened you and your checked bags with explosive-detection equipment, this bill would let you skip a second security screening once you land in the U.S. and continue on to a connecting domestic flight. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would still need to receive images of your bags ahead of time and clear you before you're allowed to skip the extra check. The program, first authorized as a pilot in 2023, is currently set to run for six years; this bill would stretch that window to ten years. It mainly affects international travelers connecting through participating foreign airports under existing screening agreements, without creating new costs or fees for passengers.
