International air cargo? 100% vs. risk-based screening?
100% Screening Legislation The legislation mandates 100% screening by August 2010 and requires TSA to: Establish a system to screen 100% of cargo transported on passenger aircraft. Provide a level of security commensurateto that of passenger baggage (piece level). No funding provided. Industry expected to bear all costs. TSA Charts from July 27th briefing to US Chamber of Commerce Background • President Bush approved legislation Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 on August 3, 2007. Congressionally Mandated Cargo Screening Benchmarks 50% 9/11 Act 100% August 2010 August 2007 February 2009
Challenges for Industry • Most “wide-body” cargo is tendered in skids (larger shipments). • Most wide-body cargo flows through freight forwarders (consolidators). • Freight forwarders typically “containerize/palletize” cargo prior to tendering to airlines. • If “airlines only” must screen all cargo, they anticipate significant delays, increased processing/cut-off times, costs. • Airlines lack space/facilities to “de-palletize”, screen, and re-configure these shipments. • Potential exists for damage to packaging/goods.
TSA Approach to Assist Industry in Attaining Screening Mandates • Certified Cargo Screening Program created to: • Allow screening of cargo early in the air cargo supply chain by a trusted, vetted, and audited facility. • Initiate and maintain the integrity of a shipment throughout the supply chain by utilizing stringent chain of custody methods. • Enable entities such as shippers to incorporate physical screening into packing process. • Participation in CCSP is voluntary, but requires participant to: • Implement and adhere to facility security standards and access controls. • Train employees and authorized representatives on CCSP and security responsibilities. • Get Security Threat Assessments (STAs) for employees involved in screening. • Screen cargo in accordance with TSA screening standards and processes. • Initiate and maintain chain of custody on all screened cargo. • Permit onsite facility assessments by TSA-Approved Validation firm or PCSA. • Adhere to all program requirements, subject to TSA inspections, after certification.
CCSP Applications Received/Certifications thru July, 2009 • Applications received as of July 2009: • 1,138+ CCSF applications have been received. • Certifications as of July 27, 2009: • 410 facilities have been certified (80% are freight forwarders). • Application momentum has fallen off since “50% attained”: • From existing applicants. • Few new applicants.
Reaching 50% (Feb 1, 2009) 50% milestone was “seemingly easy” for shipping community, but: Economic downturn caused over 35% drop in volume of cargo. Airlines invested significantly in additional technology (primarily ETD). CCSF (Certified) Freight Forwarders handled some cargo screening on behalf of shippers (a new program). TSA provided Air Carriers and IACs with flexibility when determining what to screen at 50%. - Narrow body shipments helped the equation. Certain commodities were excluded for a limited time frame (until August 31st, 2009).
Industry Challenges for 100% (Aug 1, 2010) • The 100% cargo screening deadline is rapidly approaching. • All commodities will require screening, at the piece level, prior to transport. • Alternate Means of screening of certain commodities will be eliminated September 1, 2009. • Most air cargo is still tendered on skids/shrink wrap/banded. • Limited screening technology availableto meet industry’s need (manufacturing backlogs). • 85% of entities utilize ETD as their primary method of screening. • Alarm resolution for ETD (other than physical search) is challenging. • High risk of physical inspection resolution as a result of “contamination” while in forwarder or airline vehicles/docks. • Recent example: • A shipment of venetian blinds was screened by canine and ETD, both recognized alarm. Resolved by physical inspection and found to be clean.
Industry Issues Through extensive interaction with Industry, we have gained insight into some key issues specific to various industries: • Hi Tech: Some products are sensitive to static discharge. • Perishables: Delay in screening may damage or spoil goods. Goods may also require refrigeration. • Pharmaceuticals: Many products must be kept refrigerated. Others are FDA sealed and cannot be opened without damaging content. • Museums & Galleries: Fine art is fragile, priceless, and unique; requiring very specific screening processes and procedures. • Most shippers do not want to risk the possibility of having their shipments opened for physical resolution of any “false alarm” issues (contamination).
TSA Concerns toward 100% • Waning CCSF application flow from shipper community. • Perception that reaching 50% was easy, thus a similar result at 100%. • The hardest part still lies ahead. • Difficult, complex cargo remains. • Most of the shipments screened today are not skidded. • Airport/airline space limitations inhibit ability to break apart, screen, re-skid, etc. • Time constraints – carriers indicate they will require significantly earlier cutoff times. • Risk of delay or damage. • Economic recovery leading to increase in cargo volume. • Screening 100% of 15 million lbs in 2010 vs. 50% of only 9 million lbs in February 2009. This represents a 300% +/- increasein the amount of cargo to be screened!! • Commodities with unique screening needs. • Insufficient availability of technology to meet industry demand (backlogs). • High risk of physical inspection due to potential contamination in transit to carriers. • Maintain integrity of shipper skids.
Summary • 50% was reached thanks to the hard work of Air Carriers and existing CCSFs Freight Forwarders. • Reaching 100% requires larger community effort to overcome industry challenges and TSA concerns. • CCSP is the solution for industry to meet the 100% screening mandate, and fully supported by the air freight and air carrier industries. • Only CCSF shippers can ensure the integrity of their shipments. • Most shippers can readily incorporate “physical search” into packing/shipping process – without investing in equipment. • TSA is providing an incentive for shippers to join CCSP. • The alternative – only cargo that is fully screened will be uplifted on August 1, 2010.
Boeing CCSP Certification Experience • Los Angeles Distribution Center applied for CCSF status • Efforts to date: • Extensive research/program development • Training • Employee STA background checks • Facility security improvements (interior cage, access controls) • Procedural changes • Documentation/”evidence” • Certification assessment conducted July 30th • Be able to prove everything! • SAFETY Act coverage pending

CBP C-TPAT Security Bulletin: SW Border • Several large narcotics seizures involving commercial shipments linked to C-TPAT members. Narcotics were co-mingled with commercial goods. C-TPAT members were utilizing the services of non-C-TPAT service providers. • Members are expected to use C-TPAT partners to the extent possible and to conduct extensive screening of their non-C-TPAT business partners. Members must have written and verifiable processes in place to ensure screening takes place on a consistent basis. • Reviews of recent events have identified two primary causative factors: • Companies had established security procedures yet failed to follow them. • Lack of corporate oversight resulted in significant levels of subversion of established supply chain security procedures via internal conspiracies.
Bulletin, con’t C-TPAT partners must perform internal risk assessments to identify inherent threats to supply chain corridors and augment established security procedures accordingly: • Ensure there is adequate oversight and accountability of the cargo loading and sealing process. • Employ cameras and/or other monitoring devices or processes at cargo loading areas. • Ensure that all conveyance hardware and fastening devices are inspected for overall security and deterrence of unauthorized access. • Consider the use of more stringent security devices to secure trailer doors. • Audit and verification of employee screening processes, to include periodic reviews. • Consider rotating personnel assigned to operationally sensitive positions, such as dispatcher. • Review the established processes for oversight of the transportation component. • Members should work with service providers to develop written and verifiable procedures to track conveyances from the point of origin to the final destination. • Establishment of route times from the manufacturing site to various points in the transportation flow will help monitor and ensure that drivers are arriving at designated locations within established timeframes • Members should work with service providers to develop procedures for instances when a driver does not check in within established timeframes. Drivers should not be allowed to make unauthorized stops.
