Risk Assesment

Phase 2/Intro to Security

San Diego International Airport

In this phase I will be addressing the security risk for San Diego International Airport that is located right outside of downtown San Diego, Ca in a rather busy congested area.   When the attacks of 9/11 happened in September 2001, the Federal Government established strict and detailed security requirements that all air carriers and airport operators must comply with to guard against terrorist acts and other threats to civil aviation security. Security regulations and requirements have been designed and implemented to prevent or deter unlawful acts against civil aviation. These regulations include prohibiting persons from gaining unauthorized access to an aircraft or to restricted areas of the airport (any area where aircraft operate or park, to include: runways, taxiways, ramps, hangars, aprons and other aircraft parking areas).  

With this assessment we will talk of such a real life attack as what happened in 2001 and how it would affect every employee, the city of San Diego and surrounding areas, communities etc.   And it is obvious that if such an attack happens to the airport as it has happened before, a lot of things are effected and lives change so it is most important we have security and safety measures in place to fight such an issue and since 2002 the Department of Homeland Security has went above and beyond to develop many regulations to assist in preventing anymore attacks on our nation.   So with this said we will see what happens with this event takes place.
