Описание: The air cargo system is vulnerable to several security risks. Several procedural and technology-based initiatives to enhance air cargo security and deter terrorist and criminal threats have been put in place. This book examines aviation security with a focus on the background and policy options for screening and securing air cargo.

Описание: International flights bound for the United States continue to be targets of terrorist activity, as demonstrated by the October 2010 discovery of explosive devices in air cargo packages bound for the United States from Yemen. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for securing the nations civil aviation system, which includes ensuring the security of U.S.-bound flights. This book explores the steps the TSA has taken to enhance its foreign airport assessment procedures since 2007, with a focus on foreign airports and inbound air cargo.

Описание: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has spent billions of dollars on aviation security programs. However, recent attacks involving aircraft and airports in other countries underscore the continued threat to aviation and the need for an effective aviation security program. Chapter 1 examines the extent to which TSA has (1) information on the effectiveness of selected passenger aviation security countermeasures and (2) systematically analyzed the cost and effectiveness tradeoffs among countermeasures. Incidents of aviation workers using access privileges to smuggle weapons and drugs into security-restricted areas and onto planes has heightened awareness about security at commercial airports. TSA, along with airport operators, has responsibility for securing the nations approximately 440 commercial airports. Chapter 2 reports on (1) the extent to which TSA has assessed the components of risk and (2) the extent to which TSA has taken actions to oversee and facilitate security, among other objectives. U.S. policies and strategies for protecting air cargo have focused on two main perceived threats: the in-flight detonation of explosives concealed in an air cargo shipment and the hijacking of a large all-cargo aircraft for use as a weapon to attack a ground target such as a major population center, critical infrastructure, or a critical national security asset. Additionally, there is concern that chemical, biological, or radiological agents or devices that could be used in a mass-casualty attack in the United States might be smuggled as international air cargo as discussed in chapter 3. On 31 August 2016, as part of a shift in U.S. policy toward Cuba, air carriers resumed scheduled commercial flights between the United States and Cuba, a route previously only open to public and private charter carrier operations. Chapter 4 examines (1) the extent to which TSA followed its standard operating procedures when assessing aviation security at Cuban airports in fiscal years 2012 through 2017; (2) the results of TSAs Cuban airport assessments in fiscal years 2012 through 2017; and (3) the results of TSAs air carrier inspections for Cuba in fiscal years 2016 -- when commercial scheduled air service between the United States and Cuba resumed -- and 2017.

Описание: The forty-year Tuskegee Syphilis Study which took place from the 1930s to the 1970s, has become a metaphor for medical racism, government malfeasance, and physician arrogance. Susan M. Reverby provides a comprehensive analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis among African American men. With rigorous clarity, Reverby investigates the study and its aftermath from multiple perspectives.

Описание: In this book, cargo securing in road transport using the restraining method with top-over lashing is presented. Cargo securing is the prevention of slipping and tipping of cargo forward, sideways and backwards, which is a consequence of hard braking, vehicle cornering in roundabout, vehicle changing lanes, high acceleration, etc. Usually, the friction alone between the cargo and the load platform bed does not guarantee that the cargo would not slip or tip in case of hard braking, vehicle cornering, vehicle changing lanes and high acceleration. In the case of hard braking, extremely large inertial force occurs, close to values of the 0.8g, which is also confirmed in this book. Also the resting moment of the cargo does not guarantee that cargo when vehicle cornering or vehicle changing lanes, would not tip from the load platform bed. For this purpose, it is necessary to protect the cargo with an additional force, which is called the pretension force. It has been found out that the pretension force depends on several factors, like lashing angle, coefficient of friction between the cargo and the load platform bed, geometrical and actual center of gravity, etc., which is analyzed and discussed in-depth in this book. The results of the analysis showed that the pretension force significantly depends on the friction coefficient when securing cargo against slipping and the center of gravity when securing cargo against tipping from the load platform bed. This book presents useful information in determining the required pretension force, which has a consequence in determining the necessary number of lashings for efficient cargo securing in road transport.
