>> how much security is necessary to ensure packages sent to the valor save? how much security as possible if someone is really determined to use the postal service? those questions are at the heart of the debate unfold in germany with the interior ministry calling for new and expensive screening meares for cargo and mail. industry leaders and the german transportation ministry warning against hasty decisions. their meeting came in response to a spate of attempted bombings using parcel services. >> europe is seeking to tighten security as terrorists adopt new tactics. the latest, bombs hidden in air

freight. at the end of october, two parcel bombs were sent in yemen to to addresses in the u.s. al qaeda claimed responsibility. one of the bombs was caught by security personnel in dubai. it was on board a passenger plane. the explosive had no smell and was hidden in a printer. >> we cannot presume there are none other that are out there. what we're trying to do now is work closely with our partners overseas to identify all packages that left yemen and to see whether or not there any suspicious packages out there that might contain these ids. >> the otr, passed through -- bomb passed through without anyone noticing what it was. a warning was only received once the parcel was in the air again. it was discovered in england.

from midnight tonight, we will suspend the suspension of unaccompanied air freight not just from yemen but somalia. >> in november, there was a series of parcel bombs in athens and sent from there, the likely culprits left-wing extremists. the targets were international bodies and foreign heads of government. a bomb addressed to the german chancellor was identified and deactivated. the government is sounding the alarm. >> there reasons to be concerned and to be alert. there are indications of planned attacks in germany and europe, and they are mounting. there is no concrete evidence. the eu wants to reduce the risks and help countries with insufficient security standards improved checks.

>> the security check there, the transport and security agency was there with experts and provided assistance. europe can be the same. >> the fact that parcel bombs could make it onto planes undetect had revealed flaws in the international security regime. a situation that needs to be rectified. >> the global security technology industry says it is preparing a new generation of screening and x-ray devices for carter. it warns the services will be coming at a premium. customers are asked to pick up the added costs. here is more on the current state of supervisor chu: screening. >> the authorities are not familiar with the firm's sending these goods and the freight has not been satisfied. it has to be scanned your first at frankfurt airport and sealed and stamped.

industry experts say the parcel bombs from yemen demonstrate the weaknesses in the screening process. >> it has reached its limits. the explosive flowed in yemen did not sure when scanned and sniffer dogs did not find it either. >> many items shipped as air freight did not fit into the scanner like this. the international air transport association says this technology urgently needs updating. >> we need to see that there are some new machines that can scan big volumes. these machines are not available and they're not certified. how long will it take? it depends on the level of technology needed. >> while passenger luggage has been put through x-ray machines around the globe for several years, similar procedures for air freight have not been used.

in this system, packages are scanned at 1800 and hour. any suspicious items are filtered out and checked. that does not work with a bulky items. >> large pieces of luggage or freight tests the limits of our capabilities. from a physics point of view. scanning them is not effective. it does not yield the results we need. we're working on the problem. >> security firms will not reveal details about the equipment there working on. it is possible to x-ray entire truckload, but it is expensive and takes time. for air freight forwarders, much is at stake. >> the industry will become less competitive. it will not be possible to

maintain change or they will become slower or more expensive and less attractive. if things go badly, jobs could be lost. >> they have to do their homework now. more technology alone is unlikely to provide this a joke -- provide the solution. >> time to go to our brussels correspondent. did anything concrete come out of the meeting of the interior ministers? >> i think the most forward- looking decision, it was not a decision but it an agreement. to look at setting up a european list of high-risk foreign airports. a high risk regarding security credentials. there is a list of airlines, about 280-odd strong. never before has there been a decision to have a look at the blacklists four airports.

this came from germany. it is one of the things that is on the agenda for a special working group. it will meet experts from securities sectors and transport sectors. there will report back to the december joint meeting of transport ministers. nothing more concre than that. >> germany did get its way with some form of controls on freight trains within the end with the u.s.. would that be so? >> yes. in the sense that there was no disagreement. if there was not closer harmonization of security, nothing could be done to improve air freight security. this is a global issue. there is no point, the ministers agreed, having high standards in a clutch of member states when you have lower standards in other member states. the idea is to dovetail aviation

and security policies in those member states where right now, it is considered the lack the link between the two so you can have a flourishing aviation sector and you can a firman security. if you do not link them, it will not necessarily have the desired effect. more harmonization, closer coordination between member states and across the atlantic. right now, ahead of the outcome of this ad hoc group, no clear idea on specifics. exactly what should be done. the main thing in the frame is to set up a list of high-risk airports outside the eeo as far as air freight securities concern. >> thank you for that. that is it for our in-depth. we hope you enjoyed it. we will leave you with a look at the latest news headlines. goodbye for now.
