Use your eyes and ears to keep our airports safe
Here's what to look for:
  • Pilots who appear under the control of someone else.
  • Anyone trying to access an aircraft through force - without keys, using a crowbar or screwdriver.
  • Anyone who seems unfamiliar with aviation procedures trying to check out an airplane.
  • Anyone who misuses aviation lingo - or seems too eager to use all the lingo.
  • People or groups who seem determined to keep to themselves.
  • Any members of your airport neighborhood who work to avoid contact with you or other airport tenants.
  • Anyone who appears to be just loitering, with no specific reason for being there.
  • Any out-of-the-ordinary videotaping of aircraft or hangars.
  • Aircraft with unusual or obviously unauthorized modifications.
  • Dangerous cargo or loads - explosives, chemicals, openly displayed weapons - being loaded into an airplane.
  • Anything that strikes you as wrong - listen to your gut instinct, and then follow through.
  • Pay special attention to height, weight, and the individual's clothing or other identifiable traits.
    Use your common sense. Not all these items indicate terrorist activity.
