Airlines look toward new era of aviation security

In Homeland Security Today’s issue commemorating September 11, Airlines for America Vice President for Security and Facilitation Lauren Beyer reflected on the past 20 years of aviation security and collaboration between airlines and the federal government facing daily challenges and continuing investments in strategic measures to mitigate and proactively address risk. Beyer explained the industry’s unparalleled safety record is the result of, “systematic improvements over many years in collaboration with our federal government partners, and an industry that is constantly challenging itself to meet and exceed the highest standards.” She added, “As we enter the next era of aviation security, we look forward to working closely with DHS and TSA to mirror TSA’s same success in driving the innovative marketplace for passenger and baggage screening technologies towards new cargo screening technology options.”
