911 Recollections

     On 9/11, I was in Colombo, Sri Lanka. To be honest, I could not believe what I was seeing – I thought I was watching a movie.
     Coming from SL, we had high security vigilance, being the victims of terrorist attacks (twice), so changes were minimal, but I believe the vigilance has increased more in the passenger side of the business.
     Today, air cargo security is at an acceptable level. However, I notice that there is more active intelligence/monitoring post 9/11 in general, and I think the Air Cargo industry will benefit.
     The only thing we as an industry can do to improve security worldwide is to be prepared and have more vigilant intelligence gathering.
