TSA Security Chief: Nope On Cargo

When asked about scanning cargo the TSA chief had this to say.

Senators also asked Hawley about a provision recommended by the 9/11 Commission, and passed by the House last week, that would require 100 percent physical inspection of all air cargo loaded onto passenger planes. The Senate has yet to act on the measure.

“We prefer not to have a 100 percent requirement on anything,” Hawley said. “Because you tend to be focused then on, how do we accomplish what is written in the law, as opposed to a smarter security that says, okay, we’re in a risk-based business, how are we going to stop the bomb from being in here?”

So, that’s a no then?
