Abstract:

The Implementing

Recommendations of the 9/11

Commission Act of 2007 mandates

the Department of Homeland

Security (DHS) to establish a

system to physically screen 50

percent of cargo transported on

passenger aircraft by February

2009 and 100 percent of such cargo

by August 2010. This testimony

provides preliminary observations

on the Transportation Security

Administration’s (TSA) progress in

meeting the mandate to screen

cargo on passenger aircraft and the

challenges TSA and industry

stakeholders may face in screening

such cargo. GAO’s testimony is

based on products issued from

October 2005 through August 2008,

and its ongoing review of air cargo

security. GAO reviewed TSA’s air

cargo security programs,

interviewed program officials and

industry representatives, and

visited two large U.S. airports.
