What this bill would do
This bill is called the One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act. It amends title 49 of the United States Code. The bill authorizes an extension of a program for screened passengers and their property. This applies to direct flights arriving from certain foreign last point of departure airports. These passengers can continue on additional flights within the United States without extra screening. Specifically, it updates the rules for checked baggage re-screening and extends the program timeline from six to ten years.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Convenience for Travelers: Under section 2(a), checked baggage arriving on direct flights from participating foreign airports can continue on additional U.S. flights without additional TSA security re-screening. This is allowed if the initial baggage screening used an explosives detection system, passengers cannot access their bags until their final destination, CBP receives timely baggage images for border security, and CBP does not flag the passenger or baggage for further inspection. This makes travel smoother for passengers by removing the burden of extra baggage checks.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Based on the provided text, there are no specific sections or provisions identified that outline negative consequences or burdens for individuals or groups of people in the United States.
