Aviation Management Research Paper Airport Security
Introduction
Airport Security is one of the most important aspects to an airport, especially since 9/11. These days everyone is worried about security; am I going to be safe flying, is something going to happen, so on and so on. There are a lot of aspects that go into the security of an airport. I will be going over the proper procedures to secure a general aviation airport.
Security can be broken down into tiny segments so that nothing gets overlooked. If there is something that can get overlooked I guarantee you that if someone were trying to get in they would find it. I feel that it is best to start broad and work your way in when it come to security of an airport. The first part that one would want to think about when it comes the security of an airport is the grounds itself. I would ask myself if there is fencing around the perimeter, lights, and camera’s. The next aspect would be the personal, who are they and where are they positioned. Once you have the perimeter and personal I would start looking at the facility itself. Meaning the terminal, FBO’s, hangers etc. When considering security for the building I would consider the entrances to the building, who has access to the building, who has keys, and is there screening to get in. Once one is inside what kind of security do they have to go through to get where they want to go. Is the airport going to have metal detectors, will their bags be screened.
Airport Surveillance
The first aspect of securing the perimeter would be to set up surveillance. The most basic form is to start an airport watch program. When it comes to general aviation airport the airports are generally small to medium in size and it is a tig...

...s will help avoid multiple people having access to the hanger. Which will then make the hanger more secured. Hangers should also have proper lighting, alarm, and an intrusion detection system to help secure the hanger.
Locks are a delaying devise and not a complete bar to entry. Every lock no matter how good or poor the quality is can be bypassed. The decision of where to install the lock is more important then the quality of the lock. The following are key factors to consider when putting in locks. Is the item that needs to be locked indoors or outdoors? The number of personnel that will need access to a key, if the amount of personnel is of great quantity consider putting in a combination key pad instead of using a key lock.

Risk management provides foundational support and contextual relevancy for the federal government, DHS, and all of the homeland security partners responsible for the safety and security of the nation. From strategic planning, policy creation, and resource allocation, to real-world exercises and responses, risk management provides the pivot point around which national security turns. It is essential to the overall mission success of the homeland security enterprise and therefore to the protection and wellbeing of the United States
The evolution of airport security would evolve over time just as airline safety. There would be a series of unfortunate events that would affect the way all airports operated. Prior to these events passengers would simply show up with their luggage and ticket and get on the plane, no screening or baggage checks were conducted. The FAA and the Federal Government had taken many steps by passing numerous pieces of legislation to address aircraft safety to reduce the number of accidents; however aircraft security was never addressed in all previously passed legislation. As the number of air travelers increased year by year, so did the potential for crimes against the airlines. These crimes included aircraft bombing and hijackings.
Individual locations, or groups of lockers, can be opened for inspections, cleaning or maintenance. In the event of forced entry, a “locker alarm” is registered on the activity log, showing the date and time. All the information in the locker administration program is password protected. Managers or administrators can choose who has access to locker information and which task each user can perform.
The way the school is set up now, gives way to almost anybody to just walk up on campus, but having fences would make it a little bit harder for people to go on and off the school property due to limited entry. After opening hours the gates should be locked so that the students feel safe to learn without having to worry about strangers wandering around the school. This should then, should in force all visitors to be directed to the main office/central gate hand over an I.D for an identity in order to get a badge before reaching any students or teachers. Also having a security on property would be another way to keep unknown people of the the property and to supervise the campus or even just the parking lot to see who oncoming
Except for the main entrance, which was only used by guests (it was off limits to students), all of the doors to the building had metal detectors.
Another important way of making sure that your home is safe is to pay attention to all entry and exit points as well as windows and deck doors. If you live in a complex, pay attention to all stairwells, fire exits, as well as entrance and exit points. Make sure that windows with easy entrance points such as those on the ground floor are locked at all times or for even more sense of security, barred. Also make sure all deck and patio doors are locked unless you are using them. These small steps will ensure that your home is a safer home.
My plan is to have four sections in my paper, all revolving around the ideas and reasons why to secure schools. At first I am going to talk about training and arming staff members to protect themselves, and the students. Second ill go into talking about security every entrance point, so nobody can enter without permission. In the third section I am going to talk about student and staff identification, as that is another key factor. My fourth section will include getting an emergency plan with frequent tests.
Well there are a lot of different options by which we can get a premises secured. However the following three options of surveillance are probably best for physical surveillance:
Security is not a one-step, or one-goal, process but it is a continuous process that requires constant adjustments to accommodate changes in an environment. Security must be the number one priority for those involved, or even not involved. This is especially important in court building operations. As the risks involved in the court atmosphere is regularly changing, the potential for disturbance will never be fully eliminated. By devoting the appropriate attention and accommodating to changes, potential incidents can minimized or alleviated. Court house security has seen dramatic changes after historically shock shaping incidents, development of security protocols, and the shift in responsibility of national and state courts.
Students need to know where to go if they are out of the classroom when a lockdown is implemented. Teachers need to know how to lock doors and keep kids safe. You may need to install secure locks or automatic locking systems. If your school has the budget, you may want to upgrade to stronger doors and windows that help seal off individual parts of the building.
For a secure lab, there should be a lot of cupboards with locks to keep important files and equipment locked up and secure. This would prevent any others from taking any of your belongings which would prevent any data or equipment losses making the labs more secure.
The heart begins racing the moment the car pulls into the airport parking lot. The smell of jet fuel, automobile exhaust, and hot tarmac combine to assault the senses with images of exotic escapes and the kind of freedom that can only come from airports. I feel the thrum of the engines at takeoff and the vibration of the plane during the flight in my skin. I see people listening to MP3s and playing video games. I hear the couple behind me chatting about the weather in Florida and the possibility of rain. I recognize the smell of fading perfume that women are wearing. Chanel, Windsong and White Diamonds clash with the smell of popcorn and Quizno sandwiches.
Aviation security plays a vital role in the aviation industry, from protecting passengers, staff and aircraft. The aviation industry, more specifically airports and aircraft, make prime targets for malicious harm, crime, and other threats because of the vast amount of people that use air transportation. Although there are many risks that are posed to the aviation industry, we can only hope to have learned from the history of airport bombings, hijackings, and sabotage terrorist attacks. The aviation industry faces threats at each step of the journey, but assessing the risks properly will help deter and mitigate these threats. Conducting risk analysis in today’s aviation security is not only important to the aviation industry, but it is important
Security is a priority for most homeowners. If you're looking for a way to beef up the security of your home, a security door might be the answer.
A critical part of network planning involves setting up of security mechanisms. Deploying the network with security configuration provides superior visibility, continuous control and advanced threat protection across the extended network. Additionally, security procedures define policies to monitor the network for securing critical data, obtain visibility, mitigate threats, identify and correlate discrepancies.
