Feeling Good About 2010
• World continued to spin after screening
• Economy was recovering
• AirCargo 2010 set new records
• Our global alliances grew significantly
• AfA significantly increased in size
Challenges Remained
• International Inbound Screening
• Lithium Batteries
• Proposed new laws for brokers & forwarders
• Proposed legislation for TSA to do cargo screening-Markey
• Risk of complacency
Then It Hit the Fan!• Yemen. Printers. Printer
cartridges. FedEx. UPS.
• Outbound U.S. passenger flights were secure- Other Nations?
• As much as 80% inbound was secure
• Cargo only was all over the news
• Not good
Media Feeding Frenzy• Newspapers. Radio. TV.
• Some nice
• Some not
• Aljazeera, BBC, CNN, NY Times, LA Times, NPR, Washington Post, Bloomberg, Time Magazine...
Don’t Forget Washington
• Markey: screen 100% of cargo aircraft freight NOW.
• Collins: Advanced data mining is the key
• Industry is working closely with TSA & CBP- Pilot Programs
• Napolitano working groups
Our Position• More must be done to secure
all-cargo aircraft
• Screening plays a role but is not a solution
• AfA advocates for a risk based, multi-layered approach
• We must maintain free trade as our economy struggles
A Wake Up Call
• More work needs to be done
• What keeps you awake at night?
• We need your ideas & suggestions
“We foresee the biggest risk and downside to doing it at the airport, with cargo piling up and no space and no time to screen it. [It would] be a logistical nightmare.”
John Sammon, TSAAssistant Administrator
‣ CCSP: An important element in the airline/forwarder/shipper partnership
‣ CCSP: Avoids bottlenecks; keeps freight moving
‣ No technology to screen pallets and ULDs
‣ TSA screening is not an effective solution
The Screening Solution?
Inbound Screening by December?
• 194 Countries in the World
• U.S. Needs Agreements with All
• Viewed with Skepticism
• Delays Make U.S. less Competitive
• Advanced Data? How Much Time??
• Who Pays?
Autopilot is Not an Option
• We must educate new TSA, staff about animal transport•We must advocate for sound legislation and effective rulemakings• Our actions make a difference• Doing nothing invites failure
Clear Skies Ahead?• Challenges remain but opportunities too
• Industry shows strength and versatility
