The U.S. Transportation Security Administration is not ready to implement new international security standards for cargo carried on freighter aircraft that go into effect next year. Whatever the plan, the air cargo industry will face higher costs to inspect cargo.

The Transportation Security Administration doesn’t have all the answers for securing airports, passenger flights and air cargo, so it relies on industry advisers. Four new members are joining the industry-led security committee.

U.S. cargo airlines had requested exemptions from the ban.

The ban follows an Iranian missile attack on U.S. military assests in Iraq.
