You're kindly invited to an open breakfast seminar with Professor Mark B. Salter (University of Ottawa and editor of Security Dialogue ). Salter will be giving a keynote speech about aviation and airport security in connection with the LASIE (Large Scale Information Exploitation of forensic data) project.
Abstract:
"Aviation security has changed radically over the past twenty years with new threats and new technologies reshaping the airport and the travel experience. The way that body scanners have been adopted, regulated, and adapted illustrates how security, privacy and law are affected by governmental structures, market forces, and broader societal attitudes. In particular, the dynamics of the international aviation security regime condition the possibility of security and affect how technologies are integrated into a loose global system. The mm wave scanner failed to gain public acceptance in the United States and Canada, whereas the European Union was able to regulate that technology and craft public acceptance much more deftly. The integration of security and technology will then be connected to different public management approaches to risk management and security cultures."
A light breakfast will be served from 07:45 onwards. All welcome!
