Overview Introduction Challenges Opportunities Conclusion
‘A failure to connect the dots’ “The U.S. government had sufficient information to have uncovered this plot and potentially disrupt the Christmas Day attack, but our intelligence community failed to connect those dots, which would have placed the suspect on the no-fly list …” President Obama, 5 January 2010
The preventive security measures were defeated Layered approach to aviation security Human factors Screening technology NW 253 Airline security procedures Counter Terrorism Intel Adapted from James Reason’s ‘Swiss Cheese’ accident causation model

Conclusions • NW 253 has yielded its lessons • Political will to improve aviation security is at its heightest point since 9/11 • ICAO has a new Comprehensive Aviation Security Strategy • Significant challenges remain • More resources and stakeholder collaboration will be needed • ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’
