Cargo Security Innovation Act

This bill would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), working with the Secretary of Transportation, to set up a pilot project testing technologies meant to reduce cargo theft at transportation hubs and rail yards. Within one year, TSA would pick up to 6 pilot sites, no more than one per state, and would give grants to groups made up of transportation companies and at least one state or local law enforcement agency. TSA could not use technology made by a foreign entity of concern at any pilot site. The project would end at each site 3 years after technology is first deployed there, and both TSA and the Government Accountability Office would report to Congress on the results.
