Maiziere's most contentious proposal is a mechanism to filter out suspicious post using freight lists. This would involve obtaining access to the databases of freight companies such as UPS and FedEx - an idea that might breach post secrecy rules.
He also may propose the establishment of a 'black list' of airports where security controls are weak.
Overall, he wants EU states to co-ordinate their security measures and centralise the oversight of air freight.
