Implementation of biometric technology, the expansion of trusted traveler programs, and other changes have evolved U.S. Customs and Border Patrol processing procedures for the 1.1 million flights at American airports to strengthen security. The summary of a TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program event held January 2025, ACRP Transportation Insights 7: Modernization of Federal Inspection Services Facilities at U.S. Airports, explores discussions on modernizing facilities between multiple stakeholders  who shape passenger processing and border clearance. Attendees and speakers represented airports, designers, planners, CBP, airline associations, and more.
