Afa Urges TSA To Allow Privately Trained Dogs To Screen Cargo
The U.S. Airforwarders Association told a congressional panel that the TSA should move toward permitting private contractors to train explosive-sniffing dogs and make them available for use at government-certified cargo screening facilities.
Appearing before the U.S. House of Representatives' Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security, AfA board member Chris Connell urged TSA to finalize its efforts to develop a program for private companies to use their own canines, certified to TSA standards, to meet federal air cargo screening mandates, said Air Cargo World.
