Airport Security: New Fears, New Solutions
An Aviation Today Webinar

Thursday, February 25, 2010
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. (EST)


$297 per site location.

Are we safer since 9/11 and at what cost? This overriding question now dominates public discourse. The continual threat to the flying public was underscored yet again, when passengers foiled an attempt to blow up a Northwest flight over Detroit on Christmas Day.

Our team of experts will discuss all aspects of airport security and how it affects not just passengers but aviation businesses. Anyone with any role in the aviation industry will find this webinar invaluable.

Since the September 11 attacks, billions have been spent to beef up airport security. The expense and effort are clear. What remains unclear is the nature of the threat, which seems to unexpectedly shift every day. What and where is this threat? Does our current response meet the risk? How can already beleaguered airlines preserve passenger revenue despite the hassles of enhanced security procedures?

This online event will tackle the tough questions that the entire world is asking. And remember: Aviation Today webinars are interactive events during which you can pose questions to the speakers. So, whatever you're interested in as it pertains to airport security, it WILL get answered!

You'll learn:

  • The pressure for airports to obtain more security equipment already is lifting the fortunes of Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, General Electric, Rapsican, Smiths Detection, and L-3 Communications. Who are the new entrepreneurs in airport security--and how can your company benefit?
  • How does the CrewPass program of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) affect passenger screening?
  • Are Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) a threat to air travel?
  • Has the TSA been effective at passenger and cargo security?
  • Is the federal Air Marshall Program sized to the actual threat?
  • Should airlines be equipped with secondary barriers?
  • How can Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags improve airport security?
  • Is the federal Flight Deck Officer program an effective layer of security? Is it a cost-effective "force multiplier"?
  • Does it make sense to arm pilots?
  • How can airlines stretch their training dollar when grappling with Common Strategy Training?
  • Has Crew Member Self Defense Training (CMSDT) been a total failure?
  • What resources do airlines and flight departments have to protect crews and passengers?
  • What's the latest technology that already overburdened security personnel can deploy?
  • Should corporate and general aviation passengers also receive screening?
  • What are the threats in the traditional flying markets and what new threats are emerging overseas?
  • What is the status of backscatter screening technology?
  • What changes can we expect from the appointment of former FBI Agent Erroll Southers to lead the TSA?

...and lots more!
