Airport Safety Assurance—Use Training Seriously

Question 1:

The name of the article is Airport Safety Assurance—Use Training seriously, published on November 2010 in Journal of Homeland security. The two authors of the article are Sushant Deb and Igor Livits.

Question 2:

The research of the author is based on the security of the airport, which has become important to protect trade and passengers in every possible way. Therefore, the research question is that security has changed by the incident of 9/11 and implementing airport safety assurance is a complicated endeavor for which training of personnel is very important.

Question 3:

The central argument of the study as provided by Deb and Livitis is security and safety assurance. Tourism surety is the point where safety, security, reputation, and economic viability meet. Terrorists are also very much aware of this combination of factors. The reasons for this melange are numerous and include the realization that both a lack of security and safety can destroy vacation experience that visitors choose to come to a place rather than being forced to come to a spot, and that perception, while not always true, tend to be true in their consequences (Sonmez et al. 1998)

Question 4:

Yes, the study was worth doing since it identified that technology plays an important role in the security of airport and that the level of technology should be increased to improve security at airports. In addition, the authors state the role of TSA that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the screening of passengers at checkpoints on the airport to ensure that passengers are not carrying any item or explosives, which is harmful and dangerous by the Transportation Security Officers (TSO). Several modifications have been done for the screening procedures at checkpoints in recent years (Wald 2004).

Question 5:

The study is unique in the way that it identifies several points that need attention of the authorities that are responsible for the security of airports.

Question 6:

The various terrorist plots to detonate liquid explosives on board of various American aircraft identified the need for TSA to modify their processes of screening, whenever appropriate. However, for this purpose, TSA faces many challenges of securing the aviation system while facilitating the free movement of people.

The screening process of travelers is a factor that affects the effectiveness and efficiency of the checkpoint of the screening system. In order to increase the security of the checkpoint and passengers along with their luggage, TSOs are responsible to ensure the security level of the airport. However, with the passage of time, modifications are being made, which is a reasonable approach to modify passenger checkpoint screening processes. In order to provide an extra layer of security, TSA has initiated random screening of individuals and their luggage, as well as vehicles entering a direct access point (Ellis 1999). In addition to that, all airports, aircraft operators, tenant employees of contractors conducting businesses at the airport are ...
