Hey guys,most Express carriers self screen their freight as part of regulations from various Transport depts in each country,DFT UK ,DOT IE. There are also programmes in place that exempt freight from Screening for Cargo Aircraft such as Known Shippers,Account Consignors & regluated agents this gives it the status of SCO (Secure Cargo Only) but it looks like the rules will change that all freight on either PAX or All Cargo will need to be screened.Most Express carriers have geared up for this with X Ray machines in most locations & using the decompression chamber in Heathrow for oversize pallets out of the UK & Ireland.
