African Airport Security Has Always Been Lax

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

In the news this week is the terrible story about the terrorist who began his trip in Lagos Nigeria and tried to blow up an Airbus jetliner above Detroit.

The Wall St. jOurnal reported over the weekend about the lapses in security in African airports that allows hijackings and terrorism to begin there.

A new carrier called Arik Air Ltd began direct service from Lagos to New York, the first time a schedule connected Nigeria and the US directly. This gave the US Homeland security an opportunity to thoroughly inspect the airport’s infrastructure.

Yet the European Union has forbidden airlines from several African countries including Benin, Congo, Dijbouti, Swaziland and Zambia to fly to the Eu due to safety concerns.

Some European carriers flying to Sub-Saharan Africa even bring their own security staff on each flight to conduct a second screening. But these are often cursory, done on the tarmac at night.

We’re The First Responders, Now–We Won’t Let You Get Away With It

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Joe Sharkey gives advice in the NY Times. He wrote recently about what business owners think about airline security.  Most of them agree that it’s not a good idea to push hard on the new security measures which will discourage normal travel. Ït’s a knee-jerk reaction, said a 200,000-miles-per-year business traveler.

Here he sums it all up well.

“Air travel security is a three-legged stool. One leg is the effectiveness of the T.S.A; another is the fortified airplane cockpit doors that make it unlikely that terrorists will ever again commandeer a plane as a guided missile; and the third is vigilant passengers who will fight back, as they did on Friday.

“We’re the first responders, basically,” Mr. Engmann said. “Passengers stopped and flight attendants stopped this guy from doing more damage.”

“In my view, the message going back to Al Qaeda, or whoever, is: ‘Look, you can try this. But passengers are not going to let you get away with it. And you may want to try to make flying like being in prison for us, but we’re just not going to allow you to do that to us either.’ ”
