Comments from Michael Salmen
Sr. Aviation Security Analyst
I know that you have noticed the state of security is always in flux, and probably that every leading country has taken its own path to success? But I’m not speaking of the flux created by an everchanging and evolving threat, here I am talking more about the isolation of trust within governments and keeping security plans secured to themselves. To this end I feel not enough intergovernmental cooperation exists between nations. On the surface this is an obvious position to hold… still, you may wonder how that affects the advancement of the state of the art in aviation security? From my observations the effects are clear, as they hinder lesser developed government actions to advance their own security.
In my travels I have become acutely aware that even the largest countries with vast resources are somewhat isolated in their efforts to create world class security. They often rely on staff to keep them up to date on developments and best practices, which makes them less resilient and innovative due to small numbers of people working in near vacuum conditions… I did that for many years and I struggled to bring innovation into the process the entire time.
This is not the case with commercial industry where efforts to strengthen security are evolving as fast as bad guys efforts to overcome the latest and greatest innovations. Of course, Industry has an incentive, being that you only get paid when you succeed! Even so, it is harder to create a secure piece of hardware or software than it is to devise a solution to overcoming it.
And yet, when a government has opportunities to work with faster moving industry counterparts they are not always fully taken advantage of.
As I travel and see the many versions of security around the world I am inspired by the level of innovation coming from all around the world and the leadership roles coming from diverse places. Now if we can do more to come together globally to advance the state of the art in aviation security we have a chance to save lives and further secure our economies.
Where in the world are we?
