There’s some good news coming out of the Department of Homeland Security, and it could affect how you travel internationally.

Preclearance is a screening process operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and it exists in a handful of airports around the world.

You go through immigration, customs, and agricultural inspection in those airports—including Ireland, Bermuda, and Abu Dhabi—so when you arrive back on U.S. soil, you’re already in the home stretch.

I can personally attest that it really works, and it’s an example of how common sense can actually make the travel process easier without compromising security.

Now the Department of Homeland Security has announced it’s planning to expand the operations to ten more airports: including Brussels Airport, Narita International in Japan, and both London Heathrow and Manchester airports in the UK.

These airports were chosen because they are some of the busiest last points of departure, with nearly 20 million U.S.-bound travelers last year.

So here’s hoping for more common-sense decisions in the future of airport security.
