Botched Cargo Screening Results in $1 Million Fine
An air cargo company is facing a $1 million fine after a Transportation Security Administration investigation found they failed to screen cargo bound for passenger aircraft for explosives.
“When it comes to national security, there is no room for error, and we have no tolerance for shortcuts,” said U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett. “This record-setting fine, and the important corrective actions taken by the company, underscore our dedication to ensuring the safety of all those who travel through America’s airports.”
