‘One Stop Security’ Pilot Program Aims to Simplify International Travel

New program enhances security and provides a better experience for international travelers

The Transportation Security Administration announced the implementation of the One Stop Security Congressionally authorized pilot, which will drastically simplify international travel for passengers flying to the United States.

One Stop Security enables passengers arriving in the U.S. from certain foreign airports with connecting flights to be exempt from rescreening by TSA. The One Stop Security operational assessment began in July, with two flights originating in London’s Heathrow International Airport. American Airlines’ One Stop Security flight destination is Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, while Delta Air Lines’ flight destination is Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. This history-making pilot is one of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s top priorities and is the result of close collaboration between TSA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the United Kingdom.

“One Stop Security is TSA’s latest common-sense approach to streamlining the passenger journey while also bolstering aviation security,” said TSA Acting Deputy Administrator Adam Stahl. “International air travel can often be a challenging and time-consuming process. It’s our goal to simplify this experience while maintaining the highest levels of security. We believe One Stop Security is an important step in that direction and helps us advance President Trump’s vision for a new Golden Age of American travel, while ensuring the homeland is safe and secure.”

Participating foreign airports must meet certain standards deemed commensurate to TSA standards. As a result, TSA anticipates better security, reduced costs, and an improved passenger experience for those traveling from a One Stop Security location.

The benefits of the One Stop Security program include:

  • Allowing passengers to skip TSA rescreening process upon arrival in the U.S.
  • Permitting passengers arriving from One Stop Security locations to proceed directly to the terminal’s sterile area for connecting flights after clearing CBP federal inspection.
  • Ensuring One Stop Security passengers’ checked baggage to be transferred to connecting flights without being rescreened.
  • Increasing aviation security at foreign locations to a standard commensurate with TSA.

‘One Stop Do Everything’ Program Aims to Simplify Life & Life’s Daily Chores
The ‘Dept. of Comfort and Convenience’ announced today the implementation of “The One Stop Do Everything” program which aims to dramatically simplify life and ease the daily chores of all of Earth’s inhabitants.
“The ‘One Stop Do Everything’ program enables the inhabitants of Earth to do everything they need to do all at one location, in one fell swoop,” said Sen. Mike Taskman, who’s been tapped to head the new ‘Dept. of Comfort & Convenience’. “If you need to clean some clothing, purchase some groceries, pay utility bills, visit a doctor, eat lunch, take a nap, learn with a study partner, you can now take care of all these tasks in one centralized location, without having to stop at countless locations to accomplish everything!”
“This program is incredible; it’s a real game-changer!” Sen. Taskman said. “It’s going to make life so much easier for all the inhabitants of this great planet of ours!”
The senator also noted that the program will not cost taxpayers a single dime, because ‘it is being funded by the ‘Make The Daily Grind Great Again’ [MTDGGA] foundation.”
