For the most part, security arrangements (regulations and technologies) have been concentrated on the area of passenger travel. The recent failed attempt to plant bombs inside two ink cartridges as cargo was a wake up call for the industry and for national governments. Recommendations following internal reviews of air cargo security called for enhanced screening of cargo but their implementation has proven to be a considerable challenge given the size of the industry and the costs of undertaking the enhancements. Subsequently the air cargo industry and the international and national regulatory authorities have come up with a compromise to increase the levels of screening whilst at the same time minimising the level of disruption via known shippers programmes. In effect, these programmes allow for known shippers to screen their own cargo if they adhere to a common set of standards. By expanding these security measures throughout the supply chain, considerable business opportunities exist for manufacturers of air cargo security and screening system technologies.
