One of the first
steps to improving
security should be to
brainstorm as many
possible scenarios
as possible.
Aviation Security,
Keeping Insider Threats Out
While outside threats may be obvious, insider threats can be more insidious. By combining
new technology with tried and true security practices, an operation can avoid danger.
BY WALKER JAROCH
A
viation security is both crucial
and complex. While Transportation
Security Administration
(TSA) checkpoints may be the
most public-facing, security measures
run deep through an operation, often
outside of the public eye.
From cyber security threats and
malicious actors to an employee forgetting
to leave a pocketknife in their car
when they clock in, possible threats run
the gamut.
According to Everett Deanes, security
general manager for Unifi, trying to
guess what the next threat might be is
like trying to see the future.
" The criminal element is always
crafty. That's almost like making a prediction,
on my part. What is the next
threat going to be? There are many past
security risks that have threatened airports
and passengers that modify the
way we adjust our procedures, " he says.
" I think collaborations amongst the law
enforcement and the aviation field is
probably the only way that we're going
to be able to mitigate security threats. "
Threat Anticipation
The first step to assessing what threats
an operation should prepare for is to
brainstorm as many different scenarios
as possible.
" You have to sit down and do roundtables
and talk it out and try to come up
with potential threat scenarios. When
I was in law enforcement, we would
talk about different scenarios, many of
which would come into play. They key
is to always be prepared and be able to

come up with a basic scenario to hamper
whatever situation arises, " Deanes
points out.
Broadly, threats fall into two categories:
terrorist and insider. In both categories,
security teams work with TSA
agents and local law enforcement to
make sure they are providing the best
intelligence possible.
Deanes explains that terrorist threats
originate from organized groups and
those people associated with them.
Since 9/11, those threats have been at
the forefront of the flying public's mind
and the potential harm they can cause
is obvious.
Rouge employees are those who are
not affiliated with any group, but act on
their own accord. These could include a
disgruntled employee who commits an
