Research Project: Airport Security Program Research Paper and Presentation
In this course,
you will complete a research project where you will develop an airport security
program. Please review
the specific assignment details and rubrics with each activity.
Part 1: Airport Security Program Research Paper
Select a commercial airport.
Conduct a security review based on open-source information about the airport.
Collect your information online or from a visit to the airport. Because of
security issues at airports, you will not be able to obtain detailed information.
Make an educated assumption as to what security the airport may or may not
have. Based on what you learned in the course and what information you have
obtained about the airport you selected, develop a written Airport Security
Program as discussed in the Price & Forrest text and from your research.
The
paper will be 10–15 pages. Use current APA formatting and include these items:
Cover page
Table of contents

The airport security plan is a requirement for all commercial airports. It consists of physical security measures and the use of airport law enforcement and security and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Physical security is the first line of defense at an airport and for airport infrastructure such as off-airport communications and lighting towers. Physical security includes alarms, access control, lighting, cameras, and barriers.
the role of airport law enforcement and TSA in combating terrorism within the aviation industry. How do you envision them working together with the common goal of providing security at airports?
