[...] A pilot on airline security (via Bruce Schneier’s blog). The system is broken: What is TSA’s fault is their abject failure to embrace more robust approaches than high visibility inspections, and their accommodations to the Air Transport Association’s revenue interests at the expense of true security, while largely ignoring the recommendations of the front-line airline crews and air marshals who have no direct revenue agenda and are much more familiar with airline operations than are the bureaucrats (remember government ignoring the front-line FBI agents who tried to warn them about 9/11?).

[...] Questo articolo, segnalato da Schneier, è veramente interessante. Tutto quello che dice può sembrare ovvio, ma la fonte, il presidente della Airline Pilots Security Alliance, lo rende particolarmente rilevante. Non mi interessa qui discutere l’efficacia o meno delle misure antiterrorismo, particolarmente negli U.S.A. Ci sono un paio di concetti che però sono un ottimo spunto di ragionamento. [...]

[...] Theater That Is Homeland Security Jump to Comments Mark Frauenfelder from BoingBoing.net posted a link to an article on HotAir.com yesterday aboutairline security from the view of an airline pilot. The pilot, David Mackett, the president of the Airline Pilots Security Alliance, writes scathingly of one possible avenue for determined terrorists to attack an airliner; aircraft on the ramp. The vulnerabilities are really too amazing to have me paraphrase, so I’ll let Mr. Mackett tell the story: Today, RON (remaining overnight) aircraft are invariably unattended and unlocked all night. Commercial aircraft typically do not have locks in their doors. They are protected by roving airport police patrols and closed circuit cameras. Neither methodology is very robust. A skeleton crew of employees is also on duty who may see something suspicious, but most have gone home. Jetway doors prevent access from the terminal but the exterior aircraft doors are unlocked to anyone who pushes a stairway up to them. [...]

[...] Pilots’ security org: “Our entire approach to airline security is almost completely ineffective David Mackett, the president of the Airline Pilots Security Alliance, says the “almost incomprehensible size of the air transportation system” is the reason why the TSA’s “entire approach to airline security is almost completely ineffective against a threat like Al Qaeda.” (Link) Immediately after 9/11, the Administration deployed the National Guard to airport checkpoints to reassure the public, though the terrorists’ objective was not the checkpoint, but the aircraft. The Airline Pilots Security Alliance (APSA) called for putting National Guardsmen on airport ramps to monitor anyone around the aircraft, conduct random ID checks, and protect the aircraft from anyone putting suspicious cargo in the holds or cabin. We also called for 100% ground employee security screening, which, while flawed, provided some layer of prevention against minimum wage employees planting illicit weapons on commercial aircraft; we also called for behavioral profiling of passengers at security checkpoints.

[...] The sheer scale of the U.S. air transport system makes top-to-bottom security nearly impossible, according to Dave Mackett, president of the Airline Pilots Security Alliance. The Transportation Security Agency’s focus, he says, should be on the biggest security holes instead of the most visible. And that means less emphasis on passenger screenings and more on airplanes parked overnight — unlocked — on the airport tarmac, where anyone can plant bombs in their holds. Blog Hot Air has Mackett’s whole disturbing manifesto: At this moment, there are roughly 5000 commercial airliners in the skies above you. There will be 28,000 flights today, and 840,000 in the next month — every month. The U.S. fleet consists of some 6000 aircraft — almost all of which will be parked unattended tonight at a public airport. We will carry almost 7 billion passengers this year, the number increasing to 10 billion by 2010, barring an exogenous event like another 9/11. [...]

[...] Great article on airport security that was linked from Bruce Schneier’s blog site. Bottom line: airport security is still sub-par, as bureaucrats dream up unrealistic non-solutions and avoid common-sense steps. Read the entire article if you’re interested (contains some useful specifics and some scary statistics). Here’s the concluding para: In the end, we should be starting with defending the smallest spaces — the cockpits and cargo compartments, and working outward to the limits of our resources; instead of starting with the airport perimeter and working inward, ignoring the actual defense of those spaces that are actually the terrorist targets. And we should be using the resources already in place to the greatest extent possible, instead of trying to bring new, untried methods into play, then waiting to find out they don’t work nearly as well in reality as they do on paper.

[...] Z tym większą ciekawością przeczytałem tekst “A Pilot on Airline Security” na który trafiłem poprzez blog Bruce Schneiera. Cóż … potwierdza to tylko że bezpieczenie na lotniskach i w samolotach w zasadzie czuć się nie możemy. Wygląda na to, że nakłady i środki inwestowane są jak narazie w to, żebyśmy my jako pasażerowie czuli się bezpieczniej poprzez wizualną stronę procesu. A cała reszta stoi odkryta jak kiedyś i czeka tylko aż ktoś z tego skorzysta. Miejmy nadzieję że jednak nie. [...]

Y, como se ve en el artículo, no parece que tratar a todo el mundo en las terminales como si fuera un terrorista en potencia esté siendo especialmente efectivo, mientras que aviones sin llave en las puertas pasan las noches sin vigilancia en muchos aeropuertos.

Lenin was wrong (Vladimir, not John, although John was wrong too on most things)in his assessment that “the capitalists will sell [them] the rope with which [they] hang [us].” We won’t sell it to them. We will give it to them in the name of winning hearts and minds. We will teach them how to tie a hangman’s knot in the rope in the name of technology sharing. We will order our military to build them the gallows in order to not offend them by denying their requests no matter how absurd. And finally we will passively walk onto the gallows and allow them to place the rope around our necks as refusing would indicate that we are profiling them by thinking that they will actually drop the trap door and kill us and such refusal would be politically incorrect.

Mackett’s analysis sounds logical, proactive and reasonable, and for all those reasons his concepts will not be implemented by our federal government.
