AfA Called To Testify

On Tuesday July 25th, The Airforwarders Association will appear before the House Committee on Homeland Security’s Transportation and Protective Security Subcommittee in Washington.

The Transportation and Protective Security Subcommittee has complete jurisdiction over all Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security matters, including the security of passengers and cargo within the U.S. aviation system and TSA’s work to secure various modes of surface transportation such as mass transit systems, railroads, trucks, and pipelines.

AfA has been asked to provide testament and be equipped to answer specific questions on the following topics:

  • The current threat landscape in air cargo
  • The Air Cargo Advanced Screening (ACAS) initiative
  • Private, third party canine screening for air cargo
  • Issues relating to TSA
  • Technology
  • Legislative language concerning ACAS and Private, third party canine screening as featured in the proposed DHS Authorization Bill

The AfA is certainly appreciative that they have been selected to provide its important industry perspective to Members of Congress and this esteemed panel. The hearing provides an opportunity to voice concerns about vital matters of importance to the industry.
