	MEETING THE AIRPORT SECURITY CHALLENGE
		Airport passenger screening must be placed under the direct control of a new federal law enforcement agency housed within the Department of Transportation.
		Airport passenger screening and other security procedures must be strengthened to ensure that they provide adequate protection for air travelers.
		Airport authorities and airlines must have a person at each airport in possession of a security clearance at a level sufficient to enable effective interaction with the law enforcement and intelligence communities and ensure that swift and decisive action is taken in response to sensitive information that is made available.

	FIXING AIRPORT SECURITY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Although there are dedicated professionals running some U.S. airports, all too often we have positions filled by political appointees like the former governor of Massachusetts’ driver (who is the current chief of airport security at Boston’s Logan Airport, where two of the doomed flights originated).
		It would not be that difficult to "corporatize" U.S. airports, and then allow their state or municipal shareholders, over time, to decide whether or not to sell shares to the public or to sell a significant stake to one of the global airport companies.
		Airports now run by political appointees who are not really qualified to cope with such levels of responsibility would have newly powerful incentives to make changes.

		The tests, the first since the security agency began overseeing checkpoint screening in February, were done by agents who were instructed to do little to try to conceal the items as they passed through screening checkpoints, memos about the tests show.
		At the 12 airports where at least a dozen tests were conducted, the failure rate was 29%.
		The documents detailing the results, considered "security sensitive information" by the agency, are part of a series of undercover tests that are set to conclude today.

		Airport and border security: In August, 2005, Transport Minister Jean Lapierre announced plans to introduce a series of improvements.
		Last December, airport security came under question when CBC News reported that 1,127 uniform items belonging to Canadian airport screeners were lost or stolen in a nine-month period.
		The former head of the country's spy agency says Canada must fix whatever went wrong in order to ensure its airports are not vulnerable to the same kind of mentality that organized the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackings of four airliners over the United States.

	The offensive futility of airport security. By Christopher Hitchens
		The last time I was at Dulles Airport, the line for security began at the entrance to the terminal and wound itself in several rope-line convolutions, like a clogged intestine, for about 40 minutes.
		And airport security is still a silly farce that subjects the law-abiding to collective punishment while presenting almost no deterrent to a determined suicide-killer.
		Better to misallocate security resources by scrutinizing 12 year old girls and octogenarians in wheelchairs to sustain the fiction that any passenger is as likely as any other to be a terrorist.

		WPA is much more secure than WEP, however if you are using personal or shared key mode, passwords should still be changed periodically to reduce the impact of leakage via employee turnover, carelessness or social engineering.
		Airport has limited range, so by careful placement of the base stations you may be able to minimize the areas outside your building where an attacker can receive a strong signal.
		If security personnel are using wireless networking in their operations, they should be equipped with alternate means of communication in case wireless links fail.

	USATODAY.com - Mismanagement slows airport security screening (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Security screening here begins only in the 30 minutes prior to flight departure, when as many as 30 passengers (the maximum capacity of our AmericanConnection commuter flights) are called, all at the same time, to be screened as a group.
		With the uncertainties of ground transportation to airports in St. Louis or Kansas City, the consistent processing routine here and the friendly, personalized passenger service are good reasons for Mid-Missouri travelers to use their regional airport to enter the often overloaded and stress-filled national air travel system.
		USA TODAY's cover story on airport security screening reflects a "status quo" mindset and totally misses the issue of developing alternative approaches to reduce waiting times and increase the security of passengers, screeners and air crews.

	Airport Security
		Airport security is a serious responsibility shared by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airports and airlines.
		Part 107 of these regulations says, No airport operator may operate an airport subject to this part unless it adopts and carries out a security program that provides for the safety of persons and property traveling in air transportation and intrastate air transportation against acts of criminal violence and aircraft piracy.
		However, it is important to understand that whether we encounter it or not, airport security involves a complicated mix of rules and regulations, technology, human instincts and sometimes, just plain old luck.

	Airport Security
		For instance, in the Boston Logan Airport, where two of the airplanes that crashed onto the Twin Towers originated, they have recruited clam diggers that worked in the muddy flats around the Airport to keep their eyes for suspicious characters.
		The rest of the passengers who had their seat belts on were still securely fastened to their seats when the aircraft finally made an emergency landing.
		Airport securities are mindful of these new threats and they are getting even more vigilant.

		The revelations were disturbing for DOT inspector general Kenneth Mead, who praised his employees for their previous work in uncovering security lapses, but suggested investigators had perhaps lost sight of their original mission.
		But Argenbright Security CEO David Beaton, who runs the nation's largest airport screening company, said he failed to see how sneaking the Central Park merry-go-round past security was productive.
		The man, actually an undercover DOT investigator, noted in his report that the scissors were taken, but added that he was then allowed to board the plane while driving a mobile rocket launcher.

		Terrorism has been a problem for airlines and air travelers since the 1970s, when hijackings and bombings became the method of choice for subversive, militant organizations around the world.
		Although security at airports has always been tight, the 9/11 attacks woke many people up to a harsh reality -- it wasn't tight enough.
		According to the Department of Homeland Security, 730 million people travel on passenger jets every year, while more than 700 million pieces of their baggage are screened for explosives and other dangerous items.

	A dangerous loophole in airport security. By Andy Bowers
		The Homeland Security Department's No-Fly List has always seemed a bit absurd to me. Only the stupidest terrorist would try booking a flight under his own name (or his known aliases) three years after the 9/11 attacks, and one thing I hope we've all learned is that our most dangerous enemies aren't stupid.
		At the first security checkpoint (the one where no scan takes place), he can breeze through using any name he wishes—even his own—just so long as his photo ID matches the altered boarding pass.
		This could be at security or at the gate (where, after all, IDs used to be checked).
