Typically, about one-half of the hull of each passenger aircraft is filled with cargo. As a result, any vulnerabilities in the air cargo security system potentially threaten the entire air transport system. GAO agreed to determine the security vulnerabilities that have been identified in the air cargo system, the status of key recommendations that have been made since 1990 to improve air cargo security, and ways in which air cargo security can be improved in the near-and long-term. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-344/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-344.htm GAO-03-344 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-344 Other Written Product GAO-03-344; Aviation Security: Vulnerabilities and Potential Improvements for the Air Cargo System; Air transportation operations Airport security Freight transportation facilities Risk management Safety standards Shipping industry Pan Am Flight 103 TWA Flight 800 Valujet Flight 592 FAA Computer Assisted Passenger Screening System
