JETBLUE FLIGHT 261: DISTURBED INDIVIDUAL CHARGES FLIGHT DECK

This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine examines the security measures in place on commercial flights in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. The podcast focuses on a specific incident on JetBlue flight 261 where a disruptive passenger attempted to breach the flight deck door, highlighting the failure of several security protocols. The author argues that despite advancements in security technology, such as bulletproof flight deck doors, the incident exposes vulnerabilities in the system, including inadequate training, insufficient Federal Air Marshals, and the need for additional security measures, such as secondary barriers.
