US CARGO SCREENING VERDICT
Effective from August 1st; the USA introduced new regulations regarding
the screening of freight on passenger aircrafts. The new law required
the secretary of Homeland Security to establish a system where the
airline industry screened 100 percent of cargo transported on passenger
aircrafts to the level used to screen checked baggage. It requires all
air cargo to be screened at the piece level prior to transport on a
passenger aircraft for flights originating in the United States &
going to the USA..
The good news is that so far so good - early reports indicate things are off to a solid start.
