—the difference between being redundant and having purpose and meaning that improves the act is this. The existing act says that when you're doing a pre-clearance, you can decide to do a strip search. Nowhere in the current clause does it say that a strip search can be conducted only to the extent that it is necessary for purposes of conducting a pre-clearance. There is no requirement of necessity. Under the law, that's a different concept from authorization.
