Abstract

Criminology Law aviation security issues
This paper presents a summary narrative account and critique of changes in aviation security issues and practices in Australia in the post-9/11 environment. In the past decade many millions of dollars have been injected into airport security upgrades on the recommendations of government-sponsored reviews, most notably the 2005 Wheeler Review. However, security problems continue to be identified, including a lack of coordination of police, inadequate entry and exit controls outside the main passenger access points, and a lack of controls at regional airports. The paper argues that a key implication of these findings is that standard principles of security management need to be more systematically built into the planning and management of critical infrastructure security, with enhanced training in security management for key personnel.
