A security program that lives in a binder.
The program says one thing and the dock does another, and nobody finds out until an inspection.
COMPLIANCE · SECURITY
Air cargo security you can show, shipment by shipment.
Air cargo security under TSA's rules in 49 CFR Chapter XII: aircraft operator and indirect air carrier security programs, cargo screening, and the training and security threat assessments behind them. And U.S. Customs and Border Protection when a shipment crosses the border.
Where it breaks
Threat assessments that lapse.
People keep working with cargo after their security threat assessment or training has expired.
Screening records no one can produce.
The shipment was screened, but the record that proves it can't be found when it's asked for.
Two agencies, two sets of records.
Security and customs requirements are kept in different places, so the full picture of a shipment is never in one file.
Advance data filed late.
Cross-border cargo waits on the ramp because the advance information wasn't sent in time.
