TSA procedures for private jets departing overseas...

[mikecweb]

Simplest format from exactly what z987k is saying:

There are no TSA screenings or checkpoints for private aircraft of any kind.
Customs and Boarder Patrol runs the searches of bags and aircraft for hazardous and illegal materials on international flights so still don't go trying to smuggle stuff into the country on a private plane if that is what you are trying to get at.

Not always true.
BOS is one example.

I like it when I file APIS and then have to regurgitate all the info I just filed to the officer when I call to make an arrival notice.

"Where are you coming from?"
Umm, it's on the APIS
"How many passengers and crew?"
Umm, it's on the APIS
"What's your ETA?"
Umm, it's on the APIS

Etc, etc.

Are you saying they have a TSA checkpoint at the Signature there or that they simply have the authority to screen people anywhere on the field?

I'm saying there is a checkpoint prior to going out to your airplane. It's not TSA but they still present the illusion of screening you and your bags.

First time I was there was in 2007 and they didn't have it.

'04 was the last time I was there. It seemed pretty silly at the time.

Sending a Lear cargo crew through a medical detector before going to an airplane with just boxes doesn't seem smart to you?

The APB for a Cessna with a "simulated engine out " was entertaining.

I'd start carrying knives and guns just because they were doing that.

Don't forget to have your customs decal affixed the the aircraft prior to U.S. re-entry.
