Presentation to the SAAFF Congress October 2013
6. Lessons
• All ports of call in “Operation Hemorrhage”
applied ICAO Annex 17 measures
• Made “Known” or “Secure” cargo so it was
accepted in supply chain
• Standard screening did not detect the devices
7. Air cargo security challenges
• Two weaknesses identified
• Transfer and Transit cargo
• Screening and screening
methods
8. Classification of Risk
• “Green” countries no validation
required, free movement of cargo
• “White” countries require independent
validation, then free movement of
cargo
• “Red” countries require independent
validation and enhanced security
measures
9. Result
• Revised EU air cargo security
Regulations in 2010 (EU185/2010)
• ACC3 EU Aviation Security Program
• “Declaration of Commitments” by air
carriers by February 2012
• Validation by 1st July 2014
10. In South Africa?
• Changes to Part 108 in South Africa
• Enhanced security measures for High
Risk Cargo
• Changes for Transfer and Transit
cargo
11. South Africa?
• World class air cargo security regime
• Direct flights to recognized by the TSA
• More robust and comprehensive than
some EU systems
12. Why must South Africa implement
validations?
• Not on the “Green” list…….
13. What is validation?
• Validation that the RA3 has a security
program that is comprehensive and robust
• Security measures meet EU standards
• Focus on people, procedures and screening
• Allows RA3 to tender secure cargo for 5
years
15. Validation is not……
• A validation of South African Part 108
procedures
• Does not replace Part 108
16. ACC3
“Air Cargo or Mail Carrier
operating into the Union
from a Third Country Airport”
17. ACC3
• Based on air carriers, not foreign
states
• Exceptions for air carrier flying from a
“green” country
• Cargo must be screened or come from
a secure supply chain
18. Specifics
• Screening to be in-line with EU Regulations
• HRCM (high risk cargo and mail) to be
double screened
• Regulated Agents (RA3) and Known
Consignors (KC3) to be independently
validated
19. What about Regulated Agents and
Known Consignors?
• RA and KC must also be validated (direct or
indirect)
• ACC3 must cover them in their IV activity…or
RA and KC can be validated in their own right
• Carriers are responsible for ensuring „their‟
cargo meets the new EU Regulations prior to
loading
• Secure Supply Chain – trust but verify (IV)
20. HRCM?
•
Cargo from a “Red” or restricted country
•
Significant damage
•
Suspected tampering
•
Leaks and smells and weight
•
Documentation
21. The future?
• From 1st July 2014, EU bans air cargo from 3rd
countries unless stations and supply chain are
Independently Validated (ACC3)
• Validation can only by done by Independent
Validators (IVs) accredited by an EU Member
State
• Re-validated every 5 years
22. Path to validation
• Become a Part 108 Regulated Agent
or Know Consignor
• If you are a Part 108 RA you have
80% of measures already in place
• Proper pre validation
24. Consequences and dangers of
non validation
• Liability in the case of an incident
(company and Directors personally)
• Delays at air carrier
• Air carriers screening cost (open
season?)
• Moral responsibility
25. A South African first!
Kintetsu World Express
first southern African logistics
company to receive top EU
security accreditation - RA3
designation
26. FAQ
• Cost?
• Time to become validated as an RA3 or KC3.
• What if I do not wish to become an RA3 or KC3?
• Will this affect my business?
ExplainOn October 28, Saudi Arabia's Deputy Interior Minister in charge of Counter-terrorism, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, called John Brennan, the U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, and former Central Intelligence Agency station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to warn him of the plot.The Saudis provided the U.S. and Germany with the tracking numbers and addressees of the two packages, and told them to look for toner cartridges. The packages had been dropped off by a woman at FedEx and UPS offices in Sana'a, Yemen, on October 27, and were slated to arrive in Chicago, Illinois, on November 1.Saudi Arabia had reportedly learned of the plot through Jaber al-Faifi, a former Guantánamo Bay detention camp inmate who had been handed over to Saudi Arabia for rehabilitation in 2006. Al-Faifi escaped in 2008, and re-joined al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, but on October 16, 2010, turned himself in to Saudi Arabia and provided it with information.Yemen officials suspected al-Faifi had actually been a double agent for Saudi Arabia ever since he rejoined al-Qaeda.[12] Security professionals said the Saudi tip appeared to be based on far more recent, specific, up-to-the-minute intelligence than al-Faifi could provide, and that a Saudi double agent in AQAP was the source of the tip-ofThe toner cartridges were filled with the odorless military grade plastic explosive pentaerythritoltetranitrate (PETN), a white powder that is one of the most powerful explosives known. The bomb found in England contained 400 grams (14 oz) of PETN, five times the amount needed to level a house. The one found in Dubai contained 300 grams (11 oz) of PETN6 grams (0.2 oz) of PETN—around 2% of what was used—would be enough to blow a hole in a metal plate twice the thickness of an aircraft's skin
“After…Farouk… we have been experimenting with ways to bring down planes.” “…our objective was not to cause maximum casualties but to cause maximum [economic] losses…” “…we singled out…air freight companies” “…it took us three months to plan…” “we will continue…to spread fear…keep [us] on his toes”. ‘…following phase…to mail…packages from countries …below the radar…”. We will “…disseminate the technical details…around the world”.

Yemen is not a natural provider of office supplies to organisations such as synagogues in the Chicago area. Therefore, you might fondly imagine that the staff in the parcels offices in the capital, Sana'a, might have checked the dispatches' more closely before allowing them anywhere near an aircraft, cargo or passengers. But they didn'tThe packages were addressed to specific individual names at the addresses—the names of historical figures from the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades.[2][40] One package was addressed to Diego Deza, the name of a Grand Inquisitor during the Spanish Inquisition in the 16th century. The other package was addressed to ReynaldKrak, a name for Raynald of Châtillon, a French knight of the Second Crusade who was beheaded in 1187 by the Kurdish Muslim Sultan Saladin, who defeated Christian Western invaders in the 12th century.
