1. What is the problem? What were the underlying causes of this problem? The problem was that SFO airport had compromised security with their existing credentialing system and physical identity & access management system (PIAM). Increase in low cost airlines and other vendors resulted in surge of passengers and SFO did not have the infrastructure to accommodate such a surge, without undertaking significant adjustments and resulting in a proposal of reopening the Terminal 2. It was vital that a…
International Airport of Boston MA, Gate B32. Destination: Los Angeles, California.” I restlessly read my plane ticket over and over. It may seem as if it’s not a big deal. Just a boarding pass, right? But this isn’t just any flight. After being in Boston for almost two weeks, the homesickness is hardly bearable anymore. It’s almost been two weeks since I’ve seen my wife, kids, brothers, office friends, neighbors, and my good, old dog. I have to be at the Logan International Airport at 6:45…
As soon as I landed at McCarran airport, I couldn’t help but to smile. Home sweet, home. Once again I get to reunite with my loved ones. As I waited for my bags, I glanced around the corner and spotted some very familiar places. A world of things came into my mind. I turned around, noticed my bags, and loaded them up. I embarked on yet another journey in the restless jungle known as McCarran airport. At the airport my nose is greeted by the aroma of freshly grilled chicken from Baja Fresh.…
as I heard the captain, a bolt of excitement had ecstatically rushed through my spine. I rested my head back as my brother tugged my shirt indicating that the plane was leaving the runway. The plane had starting leaving the Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport. I looked through the small window and saw the once what seemed humongous buildings, slowly minimising. I thought of all the amazing things Los Angeles had to offer. All the places that only seemed to exist through my TV and laptop screen. The…
From an economics perspective, the market for airport parking in the city of Melbourne would be a monopoly (assuming that this is limited to the parking that is a part of Tullamarine airport). A monopoly is defined to be a market type where is only one firm operating with absolute market power, with no close substitutes and a large barrier to entry. Firms operating in this market are required to have proximity to the airport, with a large area available for cars to park, and the resources to…
Airport Fiasco Every summer since I was ten years old I have gone to my dad’s house for the summer. It used to be a lengthy, mudane car ride to Idaho, but I didn’t mind because my mom always bought us snacks for the drive and I would sleep most of the way there. It was completely stress-free trip, there and back, until about three years ago. That’s when my dad moved to New Hampshire, which is about a thirty-three hour drive, and my mom was not up for it. That meant my sister and I would have…

without getting caught going through airport security. Was this attack caused because of the lack of airport security? Do you think that the airport the hijackers got through weren't intensified enough?…
efficient way to fight terrorism would be to use profiling that is based on criminal activity and not race. Behavioral patterns or psychological characteristics would be better, more relevant indicators of who would be more likely to commit crimes. At an airport, for example, there are expectations of how a typical passenger behaves, how a family behaves, and even how air crew behaves. If a security official sees something out of the ordinary than what he or she would expect to see, they should…
