Bensenville, IL — The United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has certified Global CFS, Inc., for the screening certification of air cargo being transported on passenger aircraft, both domestically and internationally.
“This represents both a tremendous honor and a tremendous responsibility for us,” remarked Steve Panzarella, President/CEO of Global CFS, “We take the safety of the flying public and the integrity of the cargo inspection system extremely seriously.”
Panzarella describes the TSA certification program: “TSA, in support of the Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plan, continues to implement a layered approach to cargo security throughout the air cargo supply chain. To achieve this layered approach without disrupting the flow of commerce, TSA considers it critical for trusted industry partners throughout the air cargo supply chain to share security responsibility for cargo transported by commercial air carriers. To strengthen this layered approach to air cargo security, TSA is considering a new initiative within the TSA's air cargo program. This initiative utilizes a facility-based validation process to confirm the shipper's facility adheres to published security standards developed by the TSA. Successful validation qualifies the shipper facility to be designated TSA certified. This TSA certification, a Certified Shipper, extends and enhances air cargo security by initiating security processes and procedures at the point of cargo origin.”
