Act of 2021’’.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding 44901(a) of title 
49, United States Code, the Administrator of the Transpor-
tation Security Administration, in coordination with U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection, is authorized to conduct 
a pilot program at not more than six foreign last point 
of departure airports to permit passengers and their acces-
sible property arriving on direct flights or flight segments 
originating at such participating foreign airports to con-
tinue on additional flights or flight segments originating 
in the United States without additional security re-screen-
ing if— 
(1) the initial screening was conducted in ac-
cordance with an aviation security screening agree-
ment described in subsection (d); 
(2) passengers arriving from participating for-
eign airports are unable to access their checked bag-
gage until the arrival at their final destination; and

arriving from participating foreign airports do not

come into contact with other arriving international 
passengers or those passengers’ property or other per-
sons who have not been screened or subjected to other 
appropriate security controls required for entry into 
the airport’s sterile area. 
(b) REQUIREMENTS FOR PILOT PROGRAM.—In car-
rying out this section, the Administrator shall ensure there 
is no reduction in the level of security or specific aviation 
security standards or requirements for screening passengers 
and their property prior to boarding an international flight 
bound for the United States, including specific aviation se-
curity standards and requirements regarding the following: 
(1) High risk passengers and their property. 
(2) Weapons, explosives, and incendiaries. 
(3) Screening passengers and property transfer-
ring at a foreign last point of departure airport from 
another airport and bound for the United States, and 
addressing any co-mingling of such passengers and 
property with passengers and property screened under 
the pilot program described in subsection (a). 
(4) Insider risk at foreign last point of departure 
airports. 
(c) RE-SCREENING OF CHECKED BAGGAGE.—The Ad-

section (a) must be re-screened in the United States by an 
explosives detection system before such baggage continues on 
any additional flight or flight segment. 
(d) AVIATION SECURITY SCREENING AGREEMENT DE-
SCRIBED.—An aviation security screening agreement de-
scribed in this subsection is an agreement signed by the Ad-
ministrator, without delegating such authority, and entered 
into with a foreign country that delineates and implements 
security standards and protocols utilized at a foreign last 
point of departure airport that are determined by the Ad-
ministrator to be comparable to those of the United States 
and therefore sufficiently effective to enable passengers and 
their accessible property to deplane into sterile areas of air-
ports in the United States without the need for re-screening. 
(e) RE-SCREENING REQUIREMENT.—If the Adminis-
trator determines that the foreign country participating in 
the aviation security screening agreement has not main-
tained and implemented security standards and protocols 
comparable to those of the United States at foreign last 
point of departure airports at which a pilot program has 
been established in accordance with this section, the Admin-
istrator shall ensure that passengers and their property ar-
riving from such airports are re-screened in the United 
States before such passengers and their property are per-
mitted into sterile areas of airports in the United States.
