Provides Airport Security Testimony Before Aviation Subcommittee of the
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on Aviation Security-
Peter Williamson, Rapiscan’s Vice President addressed the security
issues facing United States airports. He recommended using a multi-layered
approach, where various technologies should be deployed. Performance
standards for all security personnel should be enacted and enforced. All
personnel, luggage and cargo entering an aircraft must be subjected to
search. The first line of defense at standard checkpoint security
locations should not be the only line of defense. The wide-scale use of
body-scanning machines, such as the Secure 1000 in all of the nation’s
airports to screen individuals for the presence of explosives, weapons and
other contraband. Only then can we say airline security is improved and
safer for the American public. |
