4. “Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my bipartisan One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act. In south Florida, Miami International Airport is one of the busiest international gateways in the United States. Every day, millions of passengers pass through airports like Miami International Airport throughout the country. We have a responsibility to keep those passengers and our airports moving efficiently while maintaining the highest security standards. This bill does exactly that. By extending this successful pilot program, passengers arriving from trusted foreign airports can connect to their final destination without unnecessary duplicate baggage screening. Security is never compromised. Every participating airport must meet strict TSA standards.”
