Air Cargo Security: What More Needs to be Done?
A Defense Daily Webinar

Thursday, February 25, 2010
11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (EST)


 

Registration Fee: $397 per site or computer.
NO TRAVEL REQUIRED

A federally-mandated August 2010 deadline is fast approaching requiring all cargo carried on passenger planes be screened for explosive threats. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has emphasized the need for the screening to be done—whether by physical or technological means—throughout the supply chain, in particular by freight forwarders.

Yet many forwarders and even manufacturers have been slow to initiate the certification process with TSA, creating the possibility of a logjam next year as these companies rush to meet the deadline.

Meantime, some companies that now have Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSF) are pressing TSA to approve new technologies that will allow them to more efficiently and effectively screen the types of cargos they typically handle.

This interactive webinar will cover the following: 

  • How is TSA preparing to meet the expected surge in demand to join the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP)?
  • What is the status of efforts to certify additional screening technologies?
  • What lessons have been learned from some of the participating companies in terms of technology and processes?
  • What elements of the supply chain need to be more involved as CCSFs?
  • How will TSA sustain the CCSP program after August 2010?

How does the Webinar work?

It's easy and convenient! You just need RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware - a dial-up connection will work fine.

  • One (1) set of materials (you may make copies for all of the persons you invited to listen to the program);
  • One (1) toll-free connection to the seminar (if you select the audio connection), and
  • One (1) Internet connection to the seminar.
  • Use speakers on your computer or speakerphone on your telephone and invite your entire staff to attend for FREE!

What equipment do I need?

For the audio connection:

  • A computer with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed. When you log into the Virtual Seminar, your computer will be taken through a brief configuration check and will let you know if you're missing any software.
  • If you do not have RealPlayer or Windows, a touch-tone telephone will work also. It works best to use a speakerphone so that others can listen too.

For the Internet connection:

  • PC: 166Mhz Pentium-based PC or better
  • Operating system: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP
  • Browser: For optimal viewing experience, we recommend using Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. However, any version of IE 4.0 or higher will work. For Netscape, only versions 4.x are supported at this time.
