Transportation Security for Sensitive Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives

Abstract

Sensitive items include conventional arms, ammunition, and explosives that require transportation protective services while in-transit. These services are required because of the items' portability, potential use in criminal or terrorist acts, capability for inflicting severe casualties, and nonavailability in commercial markets. Our primary objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and other security arrangements for sensitive shipments of conventional arms, ammunition, and explosives.
