U.S. air carriers transport billions of tons of cargo each year in both passenger planes and all-cargo planes. Keeping that cargo secure is the responsibility of the Department of Transportations (DOT) Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which was created in November 2001 by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. Prior to that date, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had this responsibility. To ensure air cargo security, the act requires the screening of all cargo carried aboard commercial passenger aircraft and requires TSA to have a system in place as soon as practicable to screen or otherwise ensure the security of cargo on all-cargo aircraft. You asked us to examine the security of air cargo.
