Question 1

A shipper presents cargo for air transport with a discrepancy between the stated weight and the actual weight. What is the appropriate action?

Accepted Answer

Reject the cargo and report the discrepancy per company procedures

Answer

Weight discrepancies are a security indicator and must be reported; accepting or altering documentation without proper authorization is improper and potentially illegal.

Question 2

Which of the following is considered a 'high-risk' cargo category requiring enhanced security measures?

Accepted Answer

Consolidated cargo from unknown or unverified shippers

Answer

Cargo consolidated from unknown or unverified shippers presents higher risk because the contents and shipper identities have not been adequately vetted.

Question 3

What is the significance of an 'air waybill' (AWB) in cargo security?

Accepted Answer

It serves as a contract of carriage and key security document linking cargo to its shipper

Answer

The air waybill is a critical document that identifies the shipper, consignee, and cargo details, forming the foundation of the cargo's security audit trail.

Question 4

If a cargo facility employee observes a coworker allowing an unscreened person into a secure area, the employee should:

Accepted Answer

Report the security violation to a supervisor or security officer immediately

Answer

Any security breach, including unauthorized access to secure areas, must be reported immediately to prevent potential threats from being introduced into the cargo system.

Question 5

What is 'cargo profiling' in the context of security screening?

Accepted Answer

Assessing risk based on factors like shipper identity, route, and cargo type to prioritize screening

Answer

Cargo profiling uses intelligence-based criteria to assess the relative risk of shipments and allocate screening resources to the highest-risk cargo first.
