ASRS Launches Aviation Security Study
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, ASRS has received an increasing number of reports detailing airport and aircraft security concerns. Beginning in December 2001, ASRS will conduct a 3-month study of the securityrelated reports received.
The ASRS security study will be based in part on “structured callbacks” (telephone surveys) with ASRS reporters. ASRS analysts will contact reporters who submit relevant incident reports to request their participation in the study. The callback survey data will be evaluated for possible expansion into a continuing analysis of aviation security incidents.
Cockpit/cabin security issues. These incidents concern issues of access to the
cockpit by flight crews and other
authorized personnel, as illustrated by
another Captain’s report:
s Entering the jetway to prepare for
flight, a man in the line of passengers told
me that he “worked for the FAA and
wanted to ride on the jump seat.” He
appeared to be unshaven and dirty,
wearing a wrinkled black denim outfit and
cowboy boots. The passengers near him seemed to be
concerned by his request. I told him that he could not ride
the jump seat because he appeared to be inappropriately
dressed… He made at least four (4) attempts to get into the
cockpit… I told the passenger agent that I wanted her to call security, detain this man, and check his credentials, so that we could determine what kind of security threat he was. I [also] called our Flight Ops Duty Manager and explained the situation to him… We cannot allow any unstable individual to bully his way into the cockpit under the threat of fines or certificate action!
Your Security Concerns Count. ASRS strongly
encourages pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance personnel, cabin crew members, station agents, airport security personnel, and others involved in commercial and general aviation operations to submit your securityrelated incident reports to ASRS as soon as possible. Participation in the ASRS security study is voluntary, and information collected from reporters will be treated confidentially. All names, company affiliations, and other information that potentially identifies a reporter will be removed from incident reports and survey data prior to
preparation of a final report. Following are examples of the types of security-related incidents that ASRS has received and has continuing interest in reviewing.
Airline employee access to aircraft and gate areas. Airline and airport employees are able to avoid thorough
security checks at some airports, as described in this
report:
s At the [airport security] check point I saw local workers
who appeared not to take security screening seriously… A young woman…was 5 to 6 feet away from the checker who obviously could not spot a picture at that distance, but who let her through… A young man…was verbally stopped by the checker and told to display his badge… Again at a 5 foot distance, the young man complied… Unless all [employee] access IDs have pictures and are closely checked, we are not secure. Additional examples of security topics are listed below:
✈ Aircraft external/internal security inspections
✈ Carry-on baggage contents
✈ Catering and meal service issues
✈ Dissemination of security-related information
✈ Photo ID verification practices
✈ Pre-boarding screening practices
✈ Access to general aviation airplanes
✈ Security procedures for rental aircraft
✈ Storage of cockpit keys
Types of Security Incidents. Most of the securityrelated reports received during the past 60 days by ASRS fall into several categories:
Passenger screening issues. At some airports, passengers may slip through security check points with knives and other potential weapons. A Captain’s report to
ASRS:
s Approximately 5 minutes before scheduled departure
Flight Attendant brought to the cockpit a folding pocket knife. She advised me that a passenger had dropped the
knife out of her purse while boarding the airplane, that numerous passenger call lights came on from passengers who witnessed the knife fall from the purse, and that the
knife lying on the floor was stepped on by the passenger in an effort to conceal the knife. Flight Attendant then retrieved the knife…and brought it to me in the cockpit. I immediately brought the knife…to the attention of the
security supervisor for the gate… He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Yeah.”
