This report addresses the effectiveness of the Transport. Security Admin¿s. (TSA) efforts to secure air cargo while it is handled or transported on the ground, prior to being shipped on passenger aircraft. Conclusions: Personnel were accessing, handling, or transporting air cargo without the required background checks or training. Also, 23% of drivers did not satisfy the required training and testing requirements. Automated tools to assist inspectors in analyzing results and focusing on high-risk areas in air cargo security were not adequate. As a result, air cargo is vulnerable to the intro. of explosives and other destructive items before it is loaded onto planes. The report makes six recommendations to strengthen the security of air cargo during ground transportation.

Book excerpt: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has spent billions of dollars on aviation security programs. However, recent attacks involving aircraft and airports in other countries underscore the continued threat to aviation and the need for an effective aviation security program. Chapter 1 examines the extent to which TSA has (1) information on the effectiveness of selected passenger aviation security countermeasures and (2) systematically analyzed the cost and effectiveness tradeoffs among countermeasures. Incidents of aviation workers using access privileges to smuggle weapons and drugs into security-restricted areas and onto planes has heightened awareness about security at commercial airports. TSA, along with airport operators, has responsibility for securing the nations approximately 440 commercial airports. Chapter 2 reports on (1) the extent to which TSA has assessed the components of risk and (2) the extent to which TSA has taken actions to oversee and facilitate security, among other objectives. U.S. policies and strategies for protecting air cargo have focused on two main perceived threats: the in-flight detonation of explosives concealed in an air cargo shipment and the hijacking of a large all-cargo aircraft for use as a weapon to attack a ground target such as a major population center, critical infrastructure, or a critical national security asset. Additionally, there is concern that chemical, biological, or radiological agents or devices that could be used in a mass-casualty attack in the United States might be smuggled as international air cargo as discussed in chapter 3. On 31 August 2016, as part of a shift in U.S. policy toward Cuba, air carriers resumed scheduled commercial flights between the United States and Cuba, a route previously only open to public and private charter carrier operations. Chapter 4 examines (1) the extent to which TSA followed its standard operating procedures when assessing aviation security at Cuban airports in fiscal years 2012 through 2017; (2) the results of TSAs Cuban airport assessments in fiscal years 2012 through 2017; and (3) the results of TSAs air carrier inspections for Cuba in fiscal years 2016 -- when commercial scheduled air service between the United States and Cuba resumed -- and 2017.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001 requires the screening of all passengers and property transported on passenger planes. The Act gives the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) responsibility for overseeing aviation security and ensuring the safety of the air-traveling public. TSA continues to improve air cargo security using a risk-based, layered approach to enhance security without impeding the flow of commerce. The Federal Aviation Administration created the Known Shipper Program (KSP) before the September 2001 terrorist attacks and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. The KSP is one of TSAs key components for strengthening air cargo security. The program establishes procedures for differentiating between shippers that are known and unknown for air carriers and indirect air carriers who tender cargo for air transportation. Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulation provides that, with limited exceptions, domestic and foreign passenger aircraft operators, all-cargo aircraft carriers, or indirect air carriers, also known as freight forwarders, operating under an approved TSA Standard Security Program may tender cargo for transport on passenger aircraft only from shippers that are verified as known.
