  "It's evident that Customs will require advance manifest information," said David Wirsing, executive director of the Airforwarders Association.
  
  It's unclear how far in advance that information will be required by Customs, now known as the Customs and Border Protection Service.An earlier proposal requiring details on standard shipments 12 hours be-fore the aircraft is loaded, with an eight-hour window for express shipments, drew a storm of opposition.Customs hastily withdrew that so-called strawman proposal and is working with an industry coalition on revised standards.The industry group, called the Commercial Operations Advisory Commission, is due to submit its recommendations on March 14.
  
  With Customs and the TSA both domiciled under the same agency, chances for uniform standards should improve."We're looking to see harmonization of security programs between Customs and TSA," Wirsing said.
  
  The TSA has embraced the global known-shipper program, an automated database developed by the airlines and the forwarders as a way to make it easier for all parties involved in airfreight shipments - shippers, forwarders, carriers and consignees - to respond to tighter security mandates imposed after Sept. 11.The known-shipper program, however, is not yet part of Customs' requirements, Wirsing said.
  
  Despite the challenges facing them, Wirsing said he is optimistic that small and medium forwarders can survive.

  "There's a lot of interpretation that has to take place," said David E. Wirsing, executive director for the Airforwarders Association, during a Federal Aviation Administration forecast meeting in Washington.The legislation, Air Cargo Security Act (S.165), was introduced by Sens.
  ...
  Wirsing said forwarders already have good cargo screening techniques in place, and worries that if the TSA should require high-cost inspection equipment, such as x-ray machines in every warehouse, many forwarders would leave the business.

  "There is simply no technology that currently exists that can screen 100 percent of cargo," said David Wirsing, Executive Director of the Airforwarders Association.

  "There is simply no technology that currently exists that can screen 100 percent of cargo," Airforwarders Association Executive Director David Wirsing said."Cargo comes in sizes that are far larger than typical passenger baggage and comes in a variety of shapes that machines cannot adapt to fit.Government authorities are already conducting research on this front but have publicly stated they are not ready to deploy any wide scale cargo screening efforts."
  
  Wirsing and other industry officials say targeting high-risk cargo is a smarter strategy both in terms of time and money.
