US pols ask GAO to review 100 pct air cargo screen
WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (WorldACD) — With a keen eye on the steps being taken to ensure the 100 percent screening of air cargo on passenger planes, politicians are asking the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review the 100 percent cargo screening requirement on passenger planes by 2010.
This was outlined in “H.R. 1 Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007,” which was passed last August and signed into law by President Bush.
This request to fully review the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) 100 percent screening requirement came from Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) and Representative Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.).
