And even if there was a similar program, what are the chances that DHS would accept their background check?
I don't see any feasible way for the US to implement a full ban on international flights while allowing domestic pax (Precheck or not) to keep their electronics. The problem is that we all generally mingle in the sterile area, so domestic pax with electronics could pass them off to international pax. I don't think most US airports are set up to easily segregate departing domestic and international pax immediately post-security.
