Gauging the Terrorist Threat: a webinar

17 Aug 2010

Since 9/11, the world’s counterterrorism and homeland security authorities have invested hundreds of billions of dollars to enhance security at airports and on aircraft. But despite these vast investments, is the flying public actually any safer? To address these issues, Aerospace & Security Media conducted a webinar on 30 June entitled: “New Solutions for Airport Security: The Risks and Rewards”. The event was sponsored by ARINC and John Persinos, the webinar moderator, outlines the insights this yielded into the omnipresent threat to aviation security. 

The speaker panel consisted of: Tony Chapman, senior director, Integrated Travel Solutions, ARINC; Mike Brenner, senior consultant, Hughes Aerospace; Charlie LeBlanc, president, ASI Group, an aviation security consultancy and Philip Baum, Editor-in-Chief, Aviation Security International. 

During the 60-minute discussion, we analysed the state of aviation security – its strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement. Our webinars are interactive, participatory events that allow registrants during the ’live’ proceedings to email questions to the moderator, for debate by the entire panel. 

The webinars are archived on our web site and remain available on demand. To access them, register at this hyperlink: http://www.aerospace-media.com/webinars
