A. The Fiscal Year 2006 Operations and Inspections appropriation for air cargo security is $55 million – which funds personnel costs for 300 dedicated cargo inspectors and operational programs such as Known Shipper Management System, Indirect Air Carrier Management System, and Freight Assessment System. Another $30 million of FY06 funds were appropriated to DHS Science & Technology for research and development programs to identify new and improved methods of screening cargo.
