Offers Recommendations For The GA Community For Keeping Private
Aircraft Secure
The Department of Homeland Security and TSA are
continuing to monitor reports on potential terrorist threats in the
United States. While there is no specific or credible intelligence
that al-Qa'ida or its affiliates are plotting attacks in the United
States to coincide with the ten year anniversary of 9/11, TSA says
they remain at a heightened state of vigilance and security
measures are in place to detect and prevent plots against the
United States should they emerge.
Secure unattended aircraft to prevent unauthorized use.
Verify the identification of crew and passengers prior to
departure.
Verify that baggage and cargo are known to the persons on
board.
Where identification systems are in place, encourage employees
to wear proper identification.
Be alert, aware of, and report persons masquerading as pilots,
security personnel, emergency medical technicians, or other
personnel using uniforms or vehicles as methods to gain access to
aviation facilities or aircraft.
Be alert, aware of, and report aircraft with unusual or
unauthorized modifications.
Be alert, aware of, and report persons loitering in the
vicinity of aircraft or air operations areas, as well as persons
loading unusual or unauthorized payload onto aircraft.
Be alert, aware of, and report persons who appear to be under
stress or the control of other persons.
Be alert, aware of, and report persons whose identification
appears altered or inconsistent.
Aircraft operators are reminded to check all NOTAMs for the
latest information on Temporary Flight Restrictions.
The theft of any GA aircraft should be immediately reported to
the appropriate authorities and the TSA General Aviation Hotline at
866-GA-SECURE (866-427-3287). In addition, persons should report
any suspicious activity immediately to local law enforcement and
the TSA General Aviation Hotline.
