Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Rand Beers was in Canada recently to participate in the 38th Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montréal, and meet with international counterparts to discuss aviation security and efforts to secure the global supply chain.

“In recent years, the international community has worked together to forge a new foundation for aviation security, making air travel safer and more secure than ever before,” said Acting Secretary Beers. “In order for us to continue to build upon this progress, we must continue to work together on an international, risk-based approach to expediting travel while improving security.”
