Aviation Security: Locks
Aviation Security: Emerging Threats - Locks
Aviation security is separated into twenty levels that are all designed to maximize the safety of flying. One of the most important and significant parts to securing airports are the locks and personal allowed access to the locks. Locks are used in almost every aspect of airport security. They are used in planes, for aircraft hangars, airtraffic control towers, and so much more. More and more techniques are being used in order to illegally unlock locks. Locks in airports that may have been useful 10 years ago when the airport was built are very unlikely to be as useful now. The need for security in certain areas may have grown. The need for fewer people to be able to access certain areas may also have changed.
Some of the levels of security may be more effective at increasing lock security than others. The customs and border protection security can especially be useful in this aspect. The customs and border protection already have locks to secure areas that will help prevent people from accessing restricted areas and information. The customs and border protection can increase the complication of locks in secure areas in order to reduce the risk of tampering as well as possibility of being broken into. More advanced locks such as biometric locks will be much more effective at mitigating the threat.
The threat of locks being easily broken into increases with time and negligence to upgrade the locks. In areas of high security biometric locks would be extremely effective compared to a key lock. It is much harder to either get the biometrics of a person already allowed by the system or hack the system than open a key lock. This will mitigate the risk drastically because of the increased difficulty of access.
