The need
The recent discovery of two bombs concealed in Printer Toner Cartridges, and discovered aboard freight planes bound for the U.S.A has again highlighted the challenges faced by the Cargo industry. In particular the need to secure the transportation infrastructure against terrorism while maintaining its continued commercial efficiency.
Cargo security is a huge technical and practical challenge. To protect against modern day terrorist threats, it is essential for security personnel to understand the changing nature of terrorism, create measures that take account of new types of threats and devise a framework to review these measures and ensure they are adequate.
It is also critical that security planners innovate when designing counter-terrorism measures as terrorists are always trying to exploit new vulnerabilities. Critical lessons can be learned from understanding how others are hardening security and re-thinking their approaches. Screening and searching of cargo also presents unique problems, including cost and complexity of different methods of screening technologies; as well as problems caused by sheer volume, time restraints and pressure on resources.
The increasing innovation, sophistication and destructive potential of modern terrorists, armed with conventional, as well as Chemical, Biological and Radiological weapons, means that we must continually monitor these threats, remain vigilant, and ensure that security personnel are correctly trained and implement effective procedures to prevent the infiltration of explosives and hazardous materials via cargo shipments.
