Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Airport Security (or lack of it) NFC - No Ferrari Content - OT

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

The cards not-only have your photo on them, they also require a PIN when swiping and must be worn with the photo visible above-the-waist at all times.  No visible card?  They WILL confront you, no shame in their game.  They confront me even when I DO show a card, just-because they don't recognize me or like what I'm doing at the moment (I do Perimeter Security for the four largest airports).  The Port Authority of NY/NJ has jurisdiction at the airports I work, they are a law-onto-themselves and don't screw around.  Then again, they're the folks who had to sift-through the rubble of 9/11....with many first-person survivors amongst their ranks.

Hi Michael -

Is there anything to prevent a card being stolen and used by someone else?  I assume they donât use Thumb Print sensors or similar?

 

Have a Happy & Prosperous New Year!

Dunno what the Pilot is bitching about - it's common-knowledge that a single card-swipe can get you access to fueled, and boarded aircraft on the ramp.  Not "Anyone" can get those cards, however.  The background checks and paperwork-vetting is very stiff for that level of access, and has been so for years - its like applying for a CCP.  Just as serious, just as thorough, with similar levels of responsibility.  Losing such a card is also serious business.....they're treated like firearms where I work.  They have their own 'holsters'.

Hey Clyde -

Have you heard about this?  Is it typical for TSA to go after pilots, etc. who tell the public  the truth about flying security?
