Editor's Notes

  1. Hearings scheduled for Next Tuesday & Wednesday, Senate Homeland Security & Commerce CBP considering advanced manifest data much earlier for risk assessment
  2. You can learn a lot from a package, who sends it, where it is from etc. That s risk assessment.
  3. Why Autopilot is not an option: Moving Forward What I learned in my first year as director: things happen whether you re involved or not, so you had better be involved. Our industry is a prime target: we re misunderstood, operate behind the scenes, and put things on passenger planes that is a recipe for fearmongering. We must stick together, and stand up for ourselves. Our actions make a difference: in just two years, our association went from virtually unknown to media and Congress to being a regular background source for national media and a resource to key committee staff. Our ongoing efforts to educate members helped prevent Markey s bills from passing; from inspection to become the norm; to create a broad definition of screening and many other wins. The option of not acting is a recipe for failure: Inspection would mean massive delays, false positives, damaged cargo, unhappy customers and a potential end to our industry since we depend on just in time cargo which we could not do if every item needed to be scanned. If each forwarder must screen all their cargo, that is a lot of money for screening methodology, personnel or machines to be purchased. It is NOT a fight that is over far from it.
  4. There are positive signs for forwarders it is far from all doom and gloom. Non-asset based forwarders are consistently rated as one of the best buys from financial analysts, there is more room for cargo in the hold with the slowing of mail on passenger planes and the Asian market as well as Latin American market continue to hold great promise for money-making routes. Forwarders are a versatile and flexible bunch that have dealt with many, many changes in terms of regulation and government scrutiny, as well as aviation trends that have seen the reduction of widebody planes in use for the US and sharing space with the postal service. With each challenge, I believe the industry has adapted and emerged stronger, and I have no doubt that the challenges outlined above will be handled the same way by the airforwarding community I am proud to represent
