Security Technology: Keeping airports secure

Arif Alikhan and Dominic Nessi from Los Angeles World Airports discuss the extensive technology program which has been implemented to enhance security at the group’s airports
Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has implemented several technology initiatives over the past decade to improve the safety and security of Los Angeles International (LAX), Ontario International, and Van Nuys Airports. These initiatives have included expanded video surveillance, modern access controls, and more advanced technology in police vehicles.
One of the projects was an ambitious effort known as the Security Technology Initiative (STI) which included numerous wholesale changes to the technological infrastructure of the third busiest airport in the United States. The project, however, proved to be too unwieldy and a more focused, prioritised plan was put into place to implement security projects that would enable a high-yield benefit.
