Security Issues
| "Aviation security is that
thick veneer of reassurance overlaying airline safety that says:
"The efforts of Man in addressing risks and making flying as operationally
safe as possible shall not be undermined by any persons attempting to create a
flight hazard. The task of ensuring aviation security requires constant vigilance,
initiative, sound judgment and attention to detail." |
