That's largely due to the US and 9/11. In fact, the US even pressures other countries into creating a separate mini TSA at their boarding gate for flights that fly into the US.
- rootusrootus 2y agoWhat other countries do a mini-TSA? Is it only countries who don't have a normal security screening that is comparable to TSA?
- bubblethink 2y agoNo, it's just more theatre. They'll have more stooges at the gate where they'll run your bag through a scanner and do this (https://x.com/VCBrags/status/1595473294878048257 https://x.com/VCBrags/status/1595473294878048257). They do it in India, only for US bound flights.
- 77pt77 2y agoYou are confusing TSA with CBP. Some countries allow you to clear CBP on the boarding side, skipping it at the destination. It's like Ireland/Dublin, Aruba and a few others.
- bubblethink 2y agoI don't mean TSA or CBP literally. I am aware of the programs you are talking about. I'm talking about unofficial/soft-power policy that adds additional barriers pre-boarding for flights that fly into the US. You won't see this in the west/EU. I suspect it's more widespread in the rest of the world.
