Added: 17/07/2009 Reporter: Peter James
Pitney Bowes has announced that it has been awarded certification by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
This will allow the mailing software company to participate in a new cargo screening programme that is currently being carried out at its international mail services facilities.
Pitney Bowes will then be compliant with the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, which requires that all cargo must be screened before being loaded onto aircraft from 2010.
John Ward, president of Mail Services at Pitney Bowes, commented: "Pitney Bowes has been working with the TSA for several years to help ensure the secure handling of international mail.
"We look forward to working with the TSA to tender freight directly to the airlines for faster, uninterrupted transportation of international mail, publications and small packages."
The TSA is a US government law enforcement agency that was established as part of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act.
It was founded by the Bush administration in direct response to the attacks on the Twin Towers on September 11th 2001.
