INDUSTRY LOOKS TO ACHIEVE 100% CARGO SCREENING BUT DEADLINES MISSED

摘要

August will see another deadline missed to deliver effective security for belly-hold freight on passenger flights. The news was broken by Gale Rossides, Acting Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in testimony before the Appropriations Committee's subcommittee on Homeland Security in the US House of Representatives in early March.rnRossides told the subcommittee that while 100 percent screening of belly-hold cargo on domestic flights would be achieved by the deadline, it would take up to another two years before the same could be said for inbound international belly-hold cargo.
