Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.
Aero Linx: The Association Of Independent Aviation Security Professionals
The mission of the Association Of Independent Aviation Security Professionals is to use experience gained working for the Federal government, airlines, airports and with technology developers to promote the adoption of meaningful aviation security measures that effectively balance security, privacy and passenger convenience.
Overview: The failed attempt by the “Christmas Bomber” to detonate a bomb he had brought on board NW Flight 253, again shows that the aviation security system remains ineffective against suicide bombers. When coupled with earlier attempts by the “Shoe Bomber”, the U.K. Liquids plotters, the 911 terrorists going back to Ramsey Yousef’s 1994 “Bojinka Plot”, it is clear that regulators’ reliance on an obsolete passenger checkpoint strategy designed to counter ransom-seeking hijackers is ineffective against today’s civil aviation threat.
