"The requirement to screen 100 percent of all cargo on passenger aircraft will present unprecedented challenges to companies of all sizes and that depend on the efficient movement of all kinds of goods. Shippers need to know what they can do to keep control of their supply chains, what their options are and what concrete steps they can take to keep ensure their business isn't caught up in someone else's security plans," said Page. "These important presentations from the TSA and best-in-class shippers will give them the tools they need to do that."

Critical questions to be answered include:

• What will you need to do to keep your goods moving seamlessly and without delay after the 100 percent air cargo screening deadline?
• How will you choose whether to create your own certified screening program or use providers that meet federal guidelines?
