				  stored or removed from the area and the person storing or removing the same.
				  The log shall include airway bill numbers of the items entered into the
				  high-value cargo area. Where an item is not identifiable by an airway bill

				  signatures of persons entering the high-value cargo storage area.
(m) Ground handling equipment and trucks
				  containing cargo, if capable of being closed and locked, shall be closed and
