TSA Planning "One-Stop Security" for International Arrivals

Not much detail but the interview on this week's airline confidential podcast has the administrator of the TSA say that they are trying to figure out how to get clean arrivals from international airports without requiring security screening, nor having to collect luggage.

In theory with GE, that would make connecting in the US an absolute breeze. That said, I can see it being a major problem depending on the airport as it would essentially require an additional segregated channel but I can see it being workable. Particularly in places like JFK T8 where the vast majority of international passengers are from UK or EU (And I wouldn't be shocked if Qatar or even Jordan were able to get in on it, too).

Also some interesting things with AI/ML regarding bag scanning and moving the checking of the monitors to a central location rather than at each lane to get more efficient checking.
