"There is a real risk that if these private-sector firms decide not to participate in TSA's system, it would make it difficult, if not impossible, to meet the 100 percent mandate."

"TSA cannot verify that it has met the February, 2009 deadline, for screening 50 percent of cargo on passenger planes as required by law."

"TSA does not expect to achieve 100 percent screening of in-bound air cargo by the mandated deadline of August 2010."

"TSA has a duty to ensure that the 100 percent screening mandate is met."
