Air cargo screening is the process of inspecting and verifying the contents of air cargo to ensure that it does not pose a security threat. This process is typically carried out by government agencies or other authorized organizations, and is an essential component of air cargo security.

There are several methods of air cargo screening

• Visual check - A check that be done by the eyes to check the goods for irregularities.
• Hand Search - A check that be done by hand, goods can be unpacked to check if the goods have irregularities
• Dual-view X-Ray -  A check with an X-ray machine to check the goods for irregularities.
• ETD (Explosive Trace Detection equipment) - Special equipment to trace explosives inside goods.
• EDS (Explosive Detection System) - A system that detect explosives inside goods
• EDD (Explosive Detection Dogs free runners or as sniffers)  - Special dogs that detect explosive in goods this can be free running or as sniffers, Carriers will also name this R.A.S.C.O (Remote Air Sampling for Canine Olfaction)

Air cargo screening is typically conducted at cargo facilities, airports, or other designated locations. All air cargo must be screened before it is accepted for transport on an aircraft, and any cargo that is found to be a security threat is either removed or destroyed.

The implementation of air cargo screening procedures has greatly enhanced the security of air cargo transportation, helping to prevent potentially dangerous items from being transported by air. This has not only improved the safety of passengers and crew, but has also helped to prevent terrorist attacks and other security incidents.
