IIRC, if you want to fly through US airspace (say, to land an international flight in the US), the airport you are leaving has to comply with US airport security rules, so the rules are pretty standard everywhere.
- DominikPeters 6y agoMajor differences: no ID checks at security, and boarding passes aren’t scanned by humans in make-work jobs, no shoes to be taken off. If it was mostly the US imposing on the rest of the world, you would see separate security for US flights in airports whose layout allow it (and international flights to USA already have lots of annoying extras, like adversarial interviews at the gate (e.g. AA at LHR), and hand searches of cabin luggage).
