Skipping repeat U.S. screening — program extended four more years

Under this program, travelers arriving from certain foreign airports can connect to a U.S. flight without going through security again. The bill would let it keep running until December 23, 2032, instead of ending in 2028.

Bags that may skip re-screening — four new conditions required

Today the TSA chief decides when arriving checked bags need a second screening. The bill would allow skipping it only if four rules are met. One is that you cannot reach your bag on the way.

Civil Liberties

Privacy of your bag's scan images — sent to border officers before landing

For a bag to skip the second screening, U.S. border officers must first receive images of it from the foreign airport. Border officers can still pull any bag or traveler aside for a closer look.

Transparency & Accountability

Deadline for Congress to revisit — moved from 2028 to 2032

The program was set to end six years after it started in December 2022. The bill changes that to ten years, so Congress would not have to act again until late 2032.

More about this bill

If you fly into the U.S. from certain foreign airports, you and your checked bag can skip a second security check. Your bag moves straight to your connecting flight. That program would run four more years, through December 23, 2032. Right now it ends December 23, 2028. The bill also sets clearer rules for when a bag can skip that check. The first airport must screen it with explosives detection equipment. You must not be able to reach the bag along the way. Border officers must get images of your bag before your plane lands. They can still pull any bag for a closer look. The House passed the bill in July 2026. The Senate has not voted yet.
