TSA to Hold Town Hall Meetings to Discuss 100% Air Cargo Screening

The Transportation Security Administration will be hosting a webinar and conducting a number of town hall meetings around the country in the coming months concerning the requirement for 100% of air cargo flown on passenger aircraft to be screened as of August 2010. Unscreened cargo will not be permitted to fly after that date, TSA states, which could cause logjams at airports, delay time-sensitive cargo and compromise product integrity. To avoid these scenarios and help implement the 100% screening mandate, TSA issued last fall a final rule that establishes the Certified Cargo Screening Program.

TSA will also be conducting town hall meetings on the CCSP in the following locations.
