Additional testing adheres to the same standards

The document says “shall”Who acts: Administrator of the Transportation Security AdministrationHow: guidanceSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says

“ensure that, when any such re-screening or additional screening requires additional testing, such testing so adheres to such standards, to so minimize such risk;”

To amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act to require hygienic handling of breast milk and baby formula by security screening personnel of the Transportation Security Administration and personnel of private security companies providing security screening, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

The third requirement, and it reaches the case where a re-screening or additional screening requires additional testing. The guidance is to ensure that such testing adheres to the hygienic standards named in the requirement above, to minimize the risk of contamination. The Act does not describe the testing or name any method.

What the document actually says

“ensure that, when any such re-screening or additional screening requires additional testing, such testing so adheres to such standards, to so minimize such risk;”

To amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act to require hygienic handling of breast milk and baby formula by security screening personnel of the Transportation Security Administration and personnel of private security companies providing security screening, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

Sometimes an extra check means a test on the item itself. The test has to follow the same clean handling rules.

What this is about

The point is to keep the risk of germs low. The law does not say what the test is. It does not say what tools get used.
