Air Cargo Advance Screening Pilot Strategic Plan
U.S. Customs and Border Protection; United States. Transportation Security Administration
"In October 2010, authorities discovered two U.S.-bound packages from Yemen containing viable bombs capable of bringing down aircraft. Forensic experts said the two bombs were designed to detonate in mid-air over Chicago, and attributed this plot to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In response to this attempted terrorist attack, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have enhanced air cargo supply chain security and implemented programs to jointly target air cargo shipments inbound to the United States through the Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) pilot project. ACAS allows CBP and TSA to receive advance security filing cargo data as a means to target cargo shipments inbound to the United States that may be high risk and require additional physical screening under the appropriate regulatory framework and protocols."
