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.
