The Path to 100% Screening in the United States
Background
 The Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 became
U.S. law on August 3, 2007.
 The legislation mandates 100% screening by
August 2010 and requires TSA to:
– Establish a system to screen 100% of cargo for
IEDs transported on passenger aircraft
– Provide a level of security commensurate to that
of passenger baggage
– Meet inspection benchmarks
 50% screening was achieved in February 2009.

TSA’s Approach to 100% Screening
 TSA is pursuing the following initiatives to aid industry in achieving the
100% screening requirements and milestones:
– Narrow Body Screening Amendment
– Phased Rollout of the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP)
 Shippers in 9 cities
 Freight Forwarders (IACs) in 18 cities
– IAC Screening Technology Pilot (STP) participants
– Non-Pilot applicants

100% Narrow Body Amendment
 TSA issued an amendment to the air
carrier screening programs requiring
100% screening of cargo transported
on all narrow bodied passenger
aircraft:
# of Flights
4%
96%
– Effective on October 1, 2008.
Narrow Body
 Requirement applies to originating
cargo tendered on narrow body
passenger aircraft.
– i.e., B-737, B-757, A-320 (and smaller)
– Shrink-wrapped and banded exemptions
were removed under the amendment.
5
Wide Body
 96% of passenger flights are
narrow body.
 More than 80% of the
passengers and 25% of
cargo are carried on these
flights.

Industry Issues
Many industries face specific issues regarding the
sensitivity of their cargo:
 Chemicals: Various chemical compounds set off
alarms that require a physical search, which may
damage goods.
 Perishables: Any delay in screening may
damage or spoil goods. Goods may also require
refrigeration.
 Human Remains: Delays in screening endanger
the integrity of the material; additionally, human
remains have very limited means of screening.
 Medications: Many medications must be kept
refrigerated, handled with extreme care, and
delivered on a strict timeline.
 Museums & Galleries: Fine are is both fragile,
priceless, and unique, requiring very specific
screening processes and procedures.

Museum Issues and Solutions
Through outreach, we have learned there are specific and unique screening
challenges facing the art industry.
Screening Exemptions:
 All cargo transported on PAX must follow Federal Law
and Congressional mandates. Fine art is not exempt,
and TSA is recommending participation in the CCSP to
minimized damage risk.
Priceless Art Inspection Concerns
 TSA is aware of industry concerns that fine art could be
opened and physically inspected by someone outside of
the fine art community who may not understand proper
care.
 Currently, museums have several options. In addition
to In-Airport screening, several fine art handlers and
packers have been certified to conduct screening.

Museum Issues and Solutions, Con’t.
Designated Screening Area
 Many museums and galleries face space
limitations. Because a Designated Screening
Area (DSA) must be specified, museums and
galleries face new spatial challenges.
 A DSA may be a minimal size, but also may be
expanded or even relocated within the certified
facility. Procedures to do so will be outlined in the
individual certification.
Portable Screening
 Many galleries ship on behalf of
collectors or others. Can a
“certified” gallery perform the
screenings off-site?
 Portable screening is not allowed.
All screening must be located in a
DSA within the certified facility.

Non-US Citizen Packing and Screening
 Non-US citizens can be involved in the packing
procedures but must be directly supervised by
a qualified screener.
Benefits of Joining the CCSP Program
 50% seems to be going well and our partners have
told us that our freight will be fine-why join the
program?
 Once the requirement becomes 100%, freight may or
may not be screened concurrently. Physical
inspection may be used to achieve 100% if the cargo
triggers an alarm when screened by technology.

CCSP Participants Specializing in Artwork
As of February 25th, over 60 facilities
have submitted an application to become
certified cargo screening facilities.
Participation includes museums,
galleries, and collections such as The
National Gallery of Art, The Metropolitan
Museum of Art, and The Museum of
Modern Art.

Looking Ahead
 TSA has certified 300+ entities.
 Over 3,000 Participants attended outreach sessions
 700+ applications received (IAC/ICSF/ shipper), ~120
per month.
 TSA is currently assessing all applicants and is
considering an expansion to the program where
airlines would be able to accept screened cargo
from all domestic airports.
 All screening exemptions for “goods rendered unusable” will expire on Sept 1st.
 TSA will begin to deploy TSA-Approved Validation Firms to perform assessments
on CCSF-applicants. TSA Headquarters will continue to issue final certifications
to qualified facilities.
 TSA will deploy an online management system for application and certification
processes under CCSP.
 The Administration’s freeze on all pending regulations will not likely impact the
CCSP program or the IFR.
