The Personal Risk: How Safe Is It to Fly? Air Terrorism Governments Response to Air Terrorism: An Effective Approach or a Dangerous Myth? Practical Airport Security Airline Security In Flight Security Unexplained Crashes: Accidents or Terrorism? The Lessons: Past and Present How to Minimize the Personal Risk When Flying
Wallis considers the Aviation and Transportation Security Act adopted by the U.S. Congress in the wake of September 11, 2001, and offers a modus operandi to the FAA.
Rodney Wallis was Director of Security of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and he served on ICAO's Panel of Aviation Security Experts.
"This book is a treasure trove of good air security advice to
travelers and includes wake-up calls for security practitioners and
governments. It's a must read for all three constituencies. Wallis
takes the US airline industry to task for putting profit ahead of
public safety, while whining over the lack of level playing field
over price competition with its European rivals. Unlike the U.S.,
the Europeans have already invested in the requisite security
technology. He gives solid advice to travelers about how to travel,
where not to travel, and how to evaluate security systems at a
glance. . . . Don't leave home without reading it."-Peter St. John
Professor of International Relations, University of Manitoba, and
author, Air Piracy, Airport Security and International
Terrorism
"With more than 40 years experience in the management of civil
aviation, Rodney Wallis is well placed to analyze the safety of
today's aviation scene. His new book assesses civil air transport's
vulnerability to airborne terrorism in general and that of the U.S.
in particular post September 11. It will prove a valuable read to
anyone connected with air transportation whether they are industry
administrators or simply occasional airline passengers."-Paul
Sheppard Director of Civil Aviation Security, Canada, 1979-1986
