SubscribeFirst I want to mention to those fallen that we will never forget and we will work harder to make your sacrifice not go in vain.:
"Let us remember how we came together as one nation, as one people, as Americans, united not only in our grief, but in our resolve to stand with one another, to stand up for the country we all love," Obama said (excerpt from: Yahoo News)
On this 8th Anniversary it brings to mind that we as freight forwarders must answer the call of duty and responsibility to do our best to provide security in the transportation sector.
As a small freight forwarder, we sometimes say to ourselves why does this have to change why do I have to do this, why can't the government just handle this and do this and do that. This is not the answer, this will lead no where fast and will end in nothing more than a false security for our country.
As a freight forwarder we need to take better care to know our Shipper's, our shipments, and our transportation routings. We should take a sense of security into our own hands. With the use of our Associations and Lobbyists we will hopefully come up with a more unified and productive plan.
My biggest gripe though is companies' using loopholes to become TSA cooperative. This I will never agree with and will always feel is detrimental to the industry.
As such I look to anyone interested in helping me make a comic strip, newspaper type to make fun and demonstrate the ridiculousness of the rules that have come about to provide us "Security." I will of course clear and check if this breaks SSI, but I would love to make this happen if it is at all possible.
