  1. TSA regulations require that cargo screened under the CCSP be transported to the aircraft operator using which type of conveyance?

    Answer: A tamper-evident or secured conveyance to maintain chain of custody

    Screened cargo must be transported in a tamper-evident or otherwise secured conveyance to preserve the chain of custody until it reaches the aircraft operator.

  2. Under TSA's CCSP framework, what action must a facility take if it loses its CCSF certification?

    Answer: Immediately cease screening activities and notify the aircraft operator

    A facility that loses CCSF certification must immediately stop screening cargo and must notify relevant aircraft operators of its non-certified status.

  3. Which TSA document outlines the specific approved screening methods that a CCSF is authorized to use?

    Answer: The CCSF's TSA-approved security program

    Each CCSF operates under a TSA-approved security program that specifies which screening methods the facility is authorized to deploy.

  4. When must a CCSF report a security incident involving cargo to TSA?

    Answer: Within 4 hours of discovery

    TSA regulations require CCSFs to report significant security incidents, including discovered prohibited items in cargo, within 4 hours of discovery.

  5. What is the primary purpose of the TSA's 'Known Shipper' program in relation to air cargo security?

    Answer: To identify shippers with a history of consistent, verifiable shipment behavior who pose lower risk

    The Known Shipper program identifies businesses with established shipping histories and verifiable identities as lower-risk, allowing for risk-based cargo screening decisions.

  6. Under TSA regulations, which of the following individuals is NOT required to undergo a Security Threat Assessment (STA) at a CCSF?

    Answer: A delivery driver who drops off unscreened cargo at the facility's receiving dock

    Delivery drivers who only access the receiving dock (unscreened cargo areas) and do not enter secured screening areas are generally not required to hold an STA.

  7. TSA regulations prohibit a CCSF from accepting cargo from which type of entity without additional verification?

    Answer: An unknown shipper with no established account

    Cargo from unknown shippers — those without a verifiable identity or shipping history — requires additional scrutiny or must be treated as higher-risk under TSA rules.
