If my memory doesn’t fail me, I recall seeing a list somewhere of new countries considered for One Stop Security with Japan being a candidate.

Even funnier is the logic at IST. Schengen EU arrivals are clean but places like Switzerland are not. The Turks failed to consider that someone can fly ZRH-EU-IST and not be re-screened…
