The Transportation Security Administration announced the implementation of the One Stop Security pilot program, allowing eligible international travelers to bypass TSA rescreening upon arrival in the U.S.

Key Points:

  • One Stop Security enables passengers arriving from certain foreign airports to skip TSA rescreening when connecting to domestic flights. After clearing Customs and Border Protection, travelers can proceed directly to the terminal’s sterile area, reducing wait times and improving flow.
  • The program’s operational assessment began in July with two flights originating at London’s Heathrow International Airport. Current One Stop Security flight destinations include American Airlines at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Delta Airlines at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
  • Participating foreign airports must meet the equivalent of TSA security standards.

Additional Information: TSA said it anticipates “better security, reduced costs and an improved passenger experience for those traveling from a One Stop Security location.”
