This policy is basically an extension of the previous policy the TSA had in place for full secondary screenings for nationals of 12 nations at USA-based checkpoints. The main differences are that 2 countries are added (Saudi Arabia and Pakistan) and that the screenings will be happening at foreign gateways. Supposedly this new policy will require full ETD swabbing at the gate but it remains to be seen if that actually happens.

Oh, and it is still a violation of the TSA's civil rights policy. Awesome.
