Air Cargo Industry Screening Challenges

With billions of pounds of cargo transported each day, the air cargo industry has a critical obligation to protect the public from security threats without hindering operational efficiency. For the identification of potential explosive threats, carriers have historically relied on X-ray screening and explosive trace detection, but these technologies have yielded costly inefficiencies. MSA has developed an innovative screening process to address the industry’s needs.

    layer in 
the patented process, conducting staggered screening of unit loading devices, pallets or other cargo
    containers.

2. Upon canine indication of a potential threat, the identified package is extracted and X-rayed by an on-site 
    screener as the Canine Detection Team continues screening additional cargo.

3. Should additional interpretation be required, the on-site screener may transmit the suspicious X-ray image to
    the MSA Emergency Operations Center, utilizing our proprietary SmartTech® technology for real-time
    analysis and resolution by MSA’s FBI Trained bomb technicians.
