Security at a class D tower

Let's say some terrorists took the tower, what's the worst thing they could do? You can ask pretty much the same questions wrt to security around small aircraft. There isn't any mission requiring a small aircraft that couldn't be done cheaper, faster, "better" some other way. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |

Sure, but if a terrorist came to the tower, he couldn't possibly get in because they wouldn't press the button for a terrorist. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Everything but a NOAA weather radio. That's the union whining, as usual. All facilities have high speed internet access in all operating quarters. When ever there is bad weather around we will always have a web page up with a weather radar site, usually Weather Underground as that self updates every 8-10 minutes. |

The entire complex and parking lot was surrounded by a dense wrought iron fence with a nasty "fish hook" shaped sharp pointed curve at the top. An intercom opened the gate. The entrance to the tower was an interlock of bulletproof glass doors that locked you in a holding area until someone checked the video camera and buzzed you in. I assume this is all a reaction to our new terrorist threat, but I haven't been able to come up with any reason for all that security. Let's say some terrorists took the tower, what's the worst thing they could do? Kill the occupants, destroy equipment. A target not worth the effort. You left out "call the media." Don |
