TSA: Mission
The Transportation Security Administration protects the
Nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of
movement for people and commerce
CRBIT
2
Detect, deter, prevent and disrupt threats toward civil
aviation that would inhibit the freedom of movement
for people and commerce
TSA: Objectives

“One of the ways we’re doing this is by developing and putting into practice a series of risk-based, intelligence-driven processes to further strengthen aviation security.”
“These initiatives are enabling us to focus our resources on …the greatest risk.”
John S. Pistole, TSA Administrator speaking on the topic of risk-based security

CRBIT
Cargo Risk-Based Inspection Technique (CRBIT) incorporates ISO 3100 Risk Management concepts
CRBIT directly aligns with TSA Administrator John Pistole’s vision of Risk-Based Security
CRBITRisk is an uncertainty that, if it occurs, will have an effect on objectives.
5
Provide a Risk-Based Security (RBS) system for Transportation Security Inspectors (TSI) in the field to be able to detect and focus on higher risk cargo that may require additional scrutiny
A flexible, proactive process focusing on cargo that is waiting to be transported on an aircraft
Allows the Inspectors to be both Security Providers and Regulators

Indicators of Risk in Air Cargo
CRBIT
Appearance of shipment Tampering, damage or stains
Behavior of individuals associated with shipment Nervous, more curious or asking excessive questions
Context of shipment Illogical routing/commodity from origin or to destination
Documents associated with shipment Missing, altered or special instructions 8

CRBIT Successes
CRBIT
TSI discovered appearance and documentation indicators associated with shipment
• Lead to the discover of 54 undeclared lithium batteries (HazMat)
• Referred to FAA for Civil Enforcement
Based on documentation indicators, TSI-Cs began to further investigate a shipment
• Discovered a valid Part 135 carrier was operating without a TSA approved security program and was tendering and transferring cargo throughout the supply chain

CRBIT Successes
CRBIT
TSI-C utilized CRBITs during a comprehensive inspection and explained the process to the Air Carrier employees
• Later utilizing what was conveyed by the TSI, Air Carrier employee called to report suspicious cargo
• In coordination with CBP, international cargo was opened by CBP and an Foreign Passport was found hidden within a magazine
• CBP seized the passport
Through interview the TSI-C learned that physical search was being used to screen cargo
• TSI-C observed the cargo that was identified as being screened and noticed appearance indicators that the cargo had not been physically opened
• Led to the discovery of egregious screening vulnerabilities 11
CRBIT: Benefits Strengthens the relationship between Industry and TSA
• Transportation Security Inspectors work with Industry Partners to resolve indicators
Prioritizes inspection efforts on cargo that is more likely presenting a threat to the transportation system
Proactively focuses resources on cargo exhibiting indicators of risk prior to transporting cargo
CRBIT

More efficient and effective use of limited resources
Allows for a greater impact on securing the air transportation system •Potentially reviewing security of the entire supply chain•Focusing on cargo vs. focusing on an entity
Security becomes Proactive versus Reactive
Leads to the detection, deterrence and disruption of threats
