From my understanding, for a foreign airport to screen passengers coming to the US, that airport must have in place procedures approved by TSA. The simplest way of doing so would be to use the
same procedures that TSA uses. From reading some of TSA's SOP, they leave a lot of leeway into implementing the screening processes.
