In a game called “you bet your business”, JFK IAC, Sea and Air Services of the Big Apple, would appear to be a big loser. In an indictment filed by the TSA, Sea and Air was cited as being in violation of several TSA regulations. These include; offering cargo for transport on passenger carrying flights at JFK that was not permitted under current TSA regulations, not doing competent audits of their shippers, falsifying documents requested by TSA inspectors and for committing wire fraud. Sea and Air also misled inspectors by stating that they had carried out aspects of their security program when in fact they had not. The TSA worked diligently with Air and Sea to try to rectify their problems over a long period of time through multiple inspections and outreach. TSA is not looking to be a “disciplinary” agency but one that provides support and outreach to make cargo shipments safe. The outreach to Sea and Air proved to be unsuccessful and subsequently, civil actions against the company were pursued. Sea and Air still did not take any action to correct these problems and when fraud and falsification were uncovered, the civil charges escalated to criminal. The investigation which began in late 2003 finally resulted in the company’s owner, Roshan Ali Ahmad, being indicted and arrested. Freed on $50,000 bond, he is currently awaiting trial. This work was the culmination of teamwork and dedication of the JFK Cargo Aviation Security Inspectors James Fallace and Christopher Zarnitz, TSA Criminal Investigators Ralph Palmiere and Keith Melofchik and the Department of Justice Attorneys Office. Until proven otherwise, all defendants are considered innocent.
