Beginning February 2009, cargo shipped on commercial aircraft originating from the US must undergo security screening. This comes as a result of legislation implemented by the US Transportation Security Administration. All cargo shipped on passenger aircraft must be broken down so individual items within a shipment can be screened using TSA-approved methods prior to loading. UPS has worked closely with the TSA and has made the necessary investments in equipment and personnel to assure its air freight operations can fully satisfy this US legislation.
