Today*, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced it is implementing a new baggage screening procedure for select flights departing from 10 specific foreign airports and arriving at 14 specific U.S. airports. All checked passenger luggage on these select flights will be screened by the TSA (via machine or canine) before being reunited with the passenger. Passengers with connecting flights will then reclaim their luggage for transfer to their connecting flights. TSA indicates that these bags will need to be screened a second time before the connecting flight. The specific arriving flights selected for screening will vary and not all arriving flights from these foreign airports will be screened.
The new requirement only affects certain flights departing for the United States from the following 10 specific airports:
· Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)

It looks like the ME3/TK/etc's MCT on both ends of the route are in the toilet.
