Wave of TSA Enforcement Actions

In the August 2010 issue of this newsletter we predicted that TSA would turn toward a "harder" approach to enforcing its rules rather than the cooperative, educational approach used in the past.  That predicted trend has become evident in the last few months, as the press has reported on five companies under investigation – including one criminal investigation – for potential violations of the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP).

• Press reports indicate that in December 2010 TSA began an investigation of Activair, an air cargo subsidiary of third-party logistics operator OHL.
• • Based on TSA's preliminary findings, TSA ordered Activair's Indianapolis facility to cease handling air cargo.
