What are some cargo prescreening systems that the tsa has have been used to identifies and inspects high-risk cargo?

We can learn from reading textbooks that when screening cargo through CCSP, cargo inspectors may need to unpack skids and pallets, an action that can lead to damage and delays. Therefore, they can choose to use IAC services or an independent cargo screening facility (ICSF). Although CCSP is very efficient in detecting the presence of explosive devices in air cargo, is it still efficient if large cargo is being transported?
We know that many screeners are limited in size and specification and that some pallets of large loads cannot be accommodated. Therefore, we have to take apart and reassemble the goods, a process that seriously undermines the efficiency of CCSP. The best way to solve this problem is to ask our man’s best friend, the canines. tsa created the National Explosive Detection Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) in the beginning to improve efficiency when screening cargo, but the program could not provide enough team of trained canines and handlers. The Third-Party Canine-Cargo (3PK9 or 3PK9-C) Program was created in 2018 to bridge the gapThe Third-Party Canine-Cargo (3PK9 or 3PK9-C) Program was created in 2018 to bridge the gap between the public and private sector (Joseph, 2020). So far 3PK9 has been optimized several times and we now call it Certified Cargo Screening Facility-K9 (CCSF-K9). The Third-Party Canine-Cargo (3PK9 or 3PK9-C) Program was created in 2018 to bridge the gap between the public and private sector. K9 has also become an important solution to the problem of multiple efficiency of CCSP.

As we transition further into the period of drones in aviation, we must consider where drones will first appear, air cargo. This first milestone has already been completed with a Cessna caravan from X-wing, demonstrating a fully autonomous flight, taking off, maneuvering, and landing without any inputs from the PIC (air market group). As we learned in class, a major concern for air cargo is hijacking the plane and using it a weapon of mass destruction. One major incident which comes to mind is Federal Express Flight 705, in which a jump seater attempted to take control of the aircraft with a hammer and a spear gun. I believe this raises some concerns about jump seaters in autonomous aircraft. If these aircraft are just simply equipped with a software system like they are in the x wing plane (Forbes). It could a major concern of a jump seater simply taking over the aircraft or pulling a circuit breaker for the system. I believe that for this technology to implemented safely, there would either have to be no jump seaters, or the design of the system would have to be changed so that in the event of a forceful override, someone on the ground could takeover.
