REPORT: CARGO THIEVES HUNGRY FOR FOOD, DRINKS A new report says when it comes to cargo thefts in the U.S., one category is seeing more interest by thieves – and it’s anything but high-tech. It turns out food and drink is the most stolen type of freight since 2008, according to the logistics security services provider FreightWatch International. It found this product type is also experiencing a similar trend to what’s being seen in the pharmaceutical category, in that its overall volume of thefts is dropping, but the average loss value is steadily climbing, based on FreightWatch data from the third quarter of 2013 through the second quarter of this year. According to the report, while this trend in pharmaceuti- cals is largely due to the decrease in readily obtainable, low security loads as the industry has hardened its supply chain, this trend in food and drinks is largely due to the rise in theft 10 • September 2015 • Airport Press Metro Edition Cargo News

A rich New York heritage that is located in the Marine Park section of Brooklyn is Floyd Bennett fi eld. Floyd Ben- nett Field was New York City’s fi rst municipal airport, later a naval air station, and is now a park. Although New York City was slowly recognizing the need for a municipal airport in the late 1920s, it sought to regain prominence by constructing the most advanced airport of its day. Construction in the far reaches of Brooklyn was started on October 29, 1929, the day of the stock market crash that heralded the Great Depression. The airport was named posthumously for Floyd Bennett, a Brooklyn native, Navy pilot, and Medal of Honor winner.
