Renowned airport security experts to discuss strategies for 2010 and beyond at Annual Airport Security Summit 2010

Over 15 distinguished security experts from Canada, the UAE, Bahrain, Ireland, The Netherlands, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia will discuss evolving security threats and highlight their latest strategies for detecting, protecting and responding effectively and efficiently.

Topics that will be discussed include: managing the intelligence threat and risk assessment process in government and private sectors, bridging the gap between airports, airlines, law enforcement and governmental authorities, examining essential preventative measures to counter the spread of the H1N1 flu virus and evaluating new biometric security technologies and implementation methods.

Ronald Augustin, Conference Chairman for Airport Security Middle East 2010 and Deputy Senior Vice President - KLM Security Services, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, The Netherlands, says, "We must change the current linear security systems into more intelligent systems to prevent security from hindering aviation growth. At the moment, security is killing us softly. It has never been more important to discuss these issues and strategies going forward."
