If we’re honest, we’re still making a lot of this security stuff up as we go, much like early pilots. The public was afraid of air travel and now it is a critical part of our lives.

This talk will explore how aviation has moved through the challenges we face, ask hard questions, and consider how our industry may consider adopting something similar.
