A paper which argues that commercial aircrews should be subject to routine airport
security screening. Just because someone
is recognized as being a regular crewmember gives little credence to whether or not that individual is a planted
terrorist. The paper shows that becoming lax with standard protocol is the first indication that the
security system is faulty and the precise clue a terrorist looks for in order to know when to strike. The paper looks at the need for tighter security, especially after September 11.
