What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryExtends TSA security screening pilot program
The TSA runs a pilot program called One Stop Security that lets certain passengers skip a second security screening when they arrive in the U.S. from overseas and have connecting flights. This bill extends the program for four more years and updates the rules about which checked bags can bypass extra screening. Specifically, it requires that bags stay locked until passengers reach their final destination and that border officials receive baggage images from foreign airports before passengers arrive.
How it affects you
If you're a frequent international traveler with connecting flights in the U.S., this could potentially save you time at security, depending on which airports and airlines participate in the program. Most everyday travelers won't notice a change, since the program only applies to specific foreign airports and eligible passengers with checked baggage.

One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act
This bill revises and extends the One Stop Security program of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Under this pilot program, eligible passengers and their checked baggage arriving in the United States from certain foreign airports with connecting flights may be eligible to continue without additional TSA security re-screening.
The bill extends the pilot program through December 23, 2032, from the current December 23, 2028.
The bill also revises the security requirements for excluding checked baggage from additional TSA security re-screening. Among other things, the bill specifies that a passenger must be unable to access their checked baggage until arrival at their final destination and that U.S. Customs and Border Protection must have received timely images of the baggage from the participating foreign airport prior to a passenger’s arrival in the United States.
