The September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon raised numerous questions about American and
international aviation security. Former Director of Security of the
International Air Transport Association Rodney Wallis suggests that
the failure to maximize U.S. domestic air security, which left air
travelers vulnerable to attack, lay largely with the carriers
themselves. He contends that future policies should parallel the
standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Wallis
considers the Aviation and Transportation Security Act adopted by
the U.S. Congress in the wake of September 11 and offers a modus
operandi to the FAA that would enable them to maximize the benefits
this legislation provides to air travelers.
This important work reviews past government reactions to the
threat posed by air terrorism and questions whether these were
effective responses or merely window dressing. It also includes
practical advice for air travelers on how to maximize their own
security when flying on international routes by monitoring airport
and airline security for themselves.
