100 percent screening 'still two years away'

摘要

The US Department of Homeland Security could be two years away from achieving its objective of 100 percent screening for airfreight imports arriving on passenger flights. Gale Rossides, acting director of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), told the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee it was feasible to screen all domestic cargo by the August 3 deadline. But she estimated that 65 percent was probably the best the TSA could do by that date for international cargo.
