Homeland Security and Reliability Airport Model $25.00
Authors: Norman F. Schneidewind, IEEE Congressional Fellow, IEEE Fellow, Professor Emeritus: Information Sciences, Naval Postgraduate School
Dr.Schneidewind’s model presented in this monograph addresses the airport security problem. It facilitated his specific recommendations to the U.S. Congress for legislative or management action to close the security loopholes. Model quantitative results are used to delineate the implications for changes in security policy at the nation’s airports. The work presents solutions which may be extended to other security settings. This monograph is sponsored by the Reliability Division. Use Monographs Order Form
