01 — The Text
What.
- Extends TSA's One Stop Security pilot program from 2028 to 2032, allowing eligible international travelers to skip re-screening at U.S. connection points.
- Tightens baggage security rules: checked bags must stay inaccessible until final destination and CBP must receive baggage images before passenger arrival.
- Program applies to passengers arriving from designated foreign airports with domestic connecting flights who meet eligibility requirements.
02 — The Stakes
So what?
- Frequent international travelers benefit from faster connections without security re-screening, reducing airport delays for participating routes.
- TSA and CBP get clearer baggage-tracking rules, potentially improving security coordination between agencies without slowing eligible passengers.
- Airlines at participating foreign airports gain competitive advantage by offering streamlined connections, which may affect pricing and route competition.
03 — The Path
Now what?
- House passed it July 13, 2026 by voice vote. Now in Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee—the typical next stop.
- Senate committee must vote to advance it before full Senate can consider passage.
- Track progress at Congress.gov using bill number H.R. 9388 or contact your senator's office about their position.
