Airport Security: Everything You Know Is Wrong

In a new book, former TSA head Kip Hawley says we’re spending our money on all the wrong things

BY STEVEN CHERRY // TUE, MAY 08, 2012
Steven Cherry: Hi, this is Steven Cherry for IEEE Spectrum’s “Techwise Conversations.”
There’s no shortage of critics of our current ways of securing air travel. Here’s a typical critique, culled from a recent op-ed piecein the Wall Street Journal:
More than a decade after 9/11, it is a national embarrassment that our airport security system remains so hopelessly bureaucratic and disconnected from the people whom it is meant to protect. Preventing terrorist attacks on air travel demands flexibility and the constant reassessment of threats. It also demands strong public support, which the current system has plainly failed to achieve.
The crux of the problem…is our wrongheaded approach to risk. In attempting to eliminate all risk from flying, we have made air travel an unending nightmare for U.S. passengers and visitors from overseas, while at the same time creating a security system that is brittle where it needs to be supple.
