United Parcel Service Inc.’s pilots union urged U.S. officials to tighten “inadequate” screening for all-cargo airlines after last week’s discovery of explosive devices in packages sent from Yemen.
The Independent Pilots Association wants better screening for large shipments and increased use of current resources such as x-ray machines, bomb-sniffing dogs and physical inspection, Brian Gaudet, a spokesman for the association, said in an e-mail.
