HAH HAH!!! You don't know. You cited a rule to support your arguments. You refused to post which section was relavent. The only conclusion is that you don't know. There are tons of pages, they are not all relavent. Which one addresses a guy running past security? Which one? You said we were all uneducated because we didn't know this. You don't either!!

And don't say that it is all relavent. How is this section relavent to the events we are discussing:

a) No aircraft operator may use any person as a Ground Security Coordinator unless, within the preceding 12-calendar months, that person has satisfactorily completed the security training as specified in the aircraft operator's security program.

Please spell "relevant" correctly the next time you use it repeatedly. Thanks.

That particular piece harks back to the December 5, 1972 emergency regulation which required the airlines to put screeners in place within 30 days. It was in response to two separate incidents that occured in October and November of that year when convicted felons stormed an Eastern Airlines plane in Houston and a Southern Airlines plane in Birmingham, Alabama. The "fleeing felon" decision caused the airlines to use contractors as screeners because the airlines weren't equipped to deal with hiring process. Flip 30 years later and you can see that the contractor's, looking at their bottom line, deemphasized training and sent the screeeners out to the concourse. Subsequently, they didn't catch the box cutters and knives used in 911.

Anymore questions?
