Use Veroot to Implement Your IACSSP Strategy
Veroot acts as a security compliance partner to those participating in the Indirect Air Carrier Standard Security Program (IACSSP). Veroot gives the air freight industry participating in IACSSP a much needed platform to ease the complicated task of TSA compliance while reducing the burden on one individual or specific company.
Why do I need to be compliant?
On Aug. 3, 2007, President Bush signed into law the Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007 (9/11 Act) P.L. 110-53 (2007), legislation requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a system to enable industry to screen 100 percent of cargo transported on passenger aircraft at a level of security commensurate with the level of security of passenger checked baggage, within three years. In addition, the legislation set an interim milestone for industry to screen 50 percent of all cargo shipped on a passenger aircraft within 18 months of enactment, by February 2009. The impact of the 100 percent screening requirement is that all cargo must be screened at the piece level by TSA approved methods prior to being loaded onto a passenger aircraft. TSA believes the most effective means for industry to meet the congressional mandate of screening 100 percent of cargo transported on passenger aircraft by August 2010, and the initial challenges required in screening cargo at the piece level when the 50 percent mandate is effective, is to employ a supply chain solution. We are pursuing multiple initiatives across the supply chain to enable industry to meet the screening milestone. These initiatives include Narrow-Body Cargo Screening, Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP), Indirect Air Carrier Screening Technology Pilot Program, and International Collaboration.
