"The Americans have taken the lead in deploying the latest technology. We should have an international agreement that those kind of standards are employed across the world to make sure there are no gaps in the system."
I read this to mean more Strip Search Machines!

edit to add:

Just over half of all cargo traffic is shipped by cargo planes -- 58 percent -- while the remainder -- 42 percent -- travels in the cargo hold of passenger planes, according to IATA.
To restate, just under half of all cargo is carried on passenger aircraft, yet TSA does not directly inspect that cargo!
