TSA and Airport Security with former Assistant TSA Administrator Justin Oberman
Cyberview discusses airport security beyond the often-discussed issues of passenger screening. Justin Oberman was a founding member of TSA and later served as Assistant TSA Administrator. He was responsible for more than a dozen programs that identify potential threats to the nation’s transportation systems. Justin co-chaired a working group on DHS reform for then Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and now advises companies, including Telos ID, in the transportation and security sectors. On this episode, Justin addresses:
- Lessons have we learned from TSA’s short ten-year history
- How airport security operations have matured in the last couple of years and new initiatives on the horizon
- Screening of airline employees, vendors and contractors
- TSA’s new Designated Aviation Channeler (DAC) program and how it addresses the insider threat
- The role of biometrics in passenger screening
- The costs and operational impacts of issuing Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials to employees
