It’s not a question of if, but when another terrorist attack afflicts the aviation sector. The threat to the flying public is ubiquitous, continual and relentless.


New technological innovations are arising in the fast-growing sector of airport security. The foiled terrorist attack on Christmas Day 2009 on a Northwest Airlines flight bound for Detroit put renewed focus on airport screening technology, creating new opportunities for companies with innovative airport security solutions. Many competitors are fiercely vying for contracts to meet the growing demand for airport security solutions, including Smiths Group, OSI Systems, L-3, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and a slew of others. The worldwide body scanner market alone is on track to exceed $1.6 billion in sales over the next five years, or $320 million annually.


Our panel of experts will discuss all facets of airport security and how it affects everyone involved: passengers, regulators, pilots, operators. carriers, security technology providers – you name it. Since the September 11 attacks, many billions of dollars have been spent to enhance airport security. And yet, it’s unclear whether these massive investments of taxpayer dollars are paying off in terms of better security. One thing does remain clear, however: the type of terrorist threat morphs into new and unexpected manifestations, seemingly every day. security is an emotional issue.

You’ll learn: • What are the major terrorist threats today and where are they the most prominent?


• Which airports are least safe? Which airports have implemented airport security systems worth emulating?


• Do current procedures and technologies meet the risk? • How can airlines, already awash in red ink, protect passenger revenue despite the indignities of beefed-up security, such as body scanners?


• Are Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), which wreaked havoc on Allied forces in Iraq, a serious threat to aircraft and airports? Has the U.S. Transportation Security Administration been effective or inept at improving passenger airport security?


• Is the U.S. Air Marshal programme sufficiently staffed and deployed to make a difference? How can Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags attached to passenger bags improve airport security? What has been the experience of RFID users in aviation, such as Hong Kong International Airport? Is body scanner technology an effective solution or an oversold panacea? What are the civil liberties implications?
