Aviation Security

This topic is a slight mix of my two careers. I went to Law Enforcement academy with police officers who work at Nashville airport, and we were able to get a sneak peek at the works of law enforcement there. TSA and the police have two different jobs, but they jobs are quite similar. The TSA and LEO's have K-9's that are all around the airport searching for drugs and bombs. The workers are also trained to look for suspicious people who will bring in parts of bombs and leave them past the TSA checkpoint for others to pick up and assemble. The security personnel are constantly training and running scenarios to stay ahead of outside threats and be prepared for anything. (TSA 2017).

With all of the training and safety measures to prevent outside threats though, the most terrifying, and hardest to prevent is an inside threat. If you have an employee who is upset about something at work or is desperate for money, they will hand everything over to the wrong people in an instant. Or, you could have someone come in and work their way through the ranks as a spy and you'll never know until it's too late.
