Are We Safe Enough?

Measuring and Assessing Aviation Security

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Are We Safe Enough? Measuring and Assessing Aviation Security explains how standard risk analytic and cost-benefit analysis can be applied to aviation security in systematic and easy-to-understand steps. The book evaluates and puts into sensible context the risks associated with air travel, the risk appetite of airlines and regulators and the notion of acceptable risk. It does so by describing the effectiveness, risk reduction and cost of each layer of aviation security, from policing and intelligence to checkpoint passenger screening to arming pilots on the flight deck.

Autorenporträt

Mark G. Stewart is Professor of Civil Engineering and Director of the Centre for Infrastructure Performance and Reliability at The University of Newcastle in Australia. He is co-author of Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Engineering Systems (Chapman & Hall, 1997, and Japanese edition in 2003), and has published more than 400 technical papers and reports. He has 30 years of experience in probabilistic risk and vulnerability assessment of infrastructure and secu¬rity systems that are subject to man-made and natural hazards. Professor Stewart has received extensive Australian Research Council support, including an Australian Professorial Fellowship, to develop probabilistic risk-modelling techniques for infrastructure subject to military and terrorist explosive blasts, and cost-benefit assessments of aviation security, policing, and counter-terrorism protective measures for critical infrastructure.

Rezensionen

"A brilliant look at aviation security through a unique prism of academia and statistics, Are We Safe Enough? provokes the reader to think about transportation security in a different light. By focusing purely on numbers, the authors remove emotion from the conversation and show what works and what doesn't.Overall, this book is well written, exceptionally researched, and guaranteed to make security professionals reevaluate the way we protect and the way we should protect civil aviation." --Security Management
