- Simple and clear feedback on the procedures used: it seems necessary to improve systems by asking passengers to fill in questionnaires - employees can also have very clear ideas on how to improve safety measures: regular meetings with service managers - an external auditing company should evaluate every airport once a year at least to bring new ideas Some people would also like to see an armed military presence.

Training on safety for staff

Baggage screening

- Baggage screening involves more staff to speed up procedure: dont you think that you may increase security risks by increasing the number of employees circulating in the airport?(doc 5: employees are also checked!) - As 43 % of Prestige Toursclientle are retired (doc 2), it might be tiring for them to stand in lines for lengthy baggage screenings - as for biometric measures, it might slow down traffic - the Introduction of metal-detecting devices at all entrances to the airport must be costly (doc 2)

- baggage screening can also be done with dogs, which improves the quality of baggage screening and creates an atmosphere of confidence (doc 1) - with more machines, all baggage can be scrutinized

Passenger security control

- this security measure is the one we all have experienced at airports, when traveling, and has proven to be quite efficient - it is the only manual part of the screening process

II a : Premier enregistrement Vous allez entendre lenregistrement dune interview de John Stone, membre du Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, concernant la scurit arienne.
Good morning, M.Stone.... How safe is air travel? Commercial jet aviation is an exceptionally safe way to get from here to there. More than three million people around the world fly safely on commercial aircraft every day. In 1998, the world' commercial jet s airlines carried approximately 1.3 billion people on 18 million flights while suffering only 10 fatal accidents. How often do serious accidents happen? They' exceedingly rare. The risk of being involved in a commercial jet aircraft accident where there are re multiple fatalities is approximately one in three million. So is flying getting safer or riskier? Commercial aviation has always been the safest mode of long-distance travel. But it' gotten even safer. s Thirty years ago, fatal accidents on commercial jetliners occurred approximately once in every 140 million miles flown. Today, it' 1.4 billion miles flown for every fatal accident . s What' the risk of flying compared to driving? s In the United States, it' 22 times safer flying in a commercial jet than traveling by car, according to a s 1993-95 study by the U.S. National Safety Council comparing accident fatalities per million passengermiles traveled. What causes commercial jets to crash? There' rarely a single cause. Usually it' a combination of things. One reason accidents are so rare is s s that commercial aviation has so many redundant, back-up systems to keep a problem from becoming serious. Typically this means that before a problem escalates into an accident, safety experts say, a series of increasingly unlikely events must occur, one after another. What' the riskiest portion of a flight? s Takeoff and the climb to cruising altitude, and the descent and landing of an airplane are the two most risk-prone periods of a flight. About three-fourths of all serious accidents occur during these two relatively brief phases of a flight. Thank you very much M. Stone.

A small number of airports in Europe and the United States currently have biometrically based security systems in pilot test stages. Schipol International Airport in Amsterdam started using Privium, an eye recognition system for European-based frequent flyers, in October. This Iridians core identification technology is licensed by EyeTicket, a firm based in McLean, Virginia. A digital camera captures images of a passenger' eyes, then EyeTicket' technology connects the iris s s pattern to a passport number or frequent-flier number so that airport and airline computers can identify the passenger. The same iris recognition technology was implemented in January for 2,000 North American-based frequent flyers of British Airways and Virgin Atlantic Airways at Londons Heathrow International Airport. Frank Fitzsimmons, the chief operating officer of Iridian, says that their primary design was originally to speed frequent travelers through immigration and border control and improve passenger convenience and security in systems where lines had grown lengthy and time-consuming with the airport congestion of recent years. Because of the events of September 11, now we are being pulled into the airports primarily for security reasons, Fitzsimmons says. We and our partners are talking to at least 30 airports and airlines, he continues. We have a patent on the iris recognition concept through 2005. Fitzsimmons adds, There is a possibility that a U.S. national system will be adopted that uses one or more biometric techniques. But I think that first there will be a robust debate on the issue of privacy. Catherine Kaliniak, EyeTickets vice president of public relations, says that the companys Eye Pass security system, with iris recognition as the identification technology, is the product used by airport employees and US Airways flight crews at Charlotte Douglas since May 2000. Weve had 4,000 people enrolled in the program, making repeated entries to secure airport areas, and we have never had a false acceptance, Kaliniak says. At Heathrow, 1,000 frequent travelers from Virgin Atlantic and another 1,000 from British Airways are enrolled to debut EyeTickets new JetStream system, utilizing iris recognition for passengers the first of its kind, according to Kaliniak. Kaliniak says the idea behind JetStream is that we dont identify bad guys, we identify good guys. When the high percentage of frequent travelers, clearly identified by digital scan photos of their irises, are moved through airports, the remaining passengers are more easily scrutinized by manual or other security systems, she says.
