The bill also requires the TSA to:

  • authorize third-party testing and evaluation of screening technology;
  • develop a validation process for the reciprocal recognition of security equipment technology approvals among international security partners or recognized certification authorities for deployment;
  • make information on wait times at airport security checkpoints publicly available in real time online and at airport terminals;
  • develop and issue certification standards for the use of third-party explosives detection canine teams for screening of individuals, property, and air cargo;
  • establish private sector partnerships to increase the methods and capabilities available for the public to enroll in the PreCheck Program; and
  • meet specified targets for expanding PreCheck enrollment.
