Airport Security Boost Advised
PORTLA N D . Ore. (AP) - The
Port o f Portland will more than
double the policem an guarding its
airport to about 90 to make up for
increased security dem ands that
arose after Sept. 11, said Executive
D irector Bill W yatt last Thursday.
W yatt spoke at a new s confer
ence at w hich the findings o f a
security task force w ere released.
The report concluded that the air
port is safe but can be m ade safer
and m ade several recom m enda
tions.
W yatt said the increased secu
rity w as decided on based on fed
eral staffing regulations and not
because o f the recom m endations
by the six-m em ber task force,
w hich included him self.
R ecom m endations, som e o f
w hich could take years to im ple
m ent, included offsite baggage
inspection in dow ntow n Portland
or along the M A X light rail link to
the airp o rt and, for passenger
convenience, the possible issu
ance o f a “trusted passenger” card
for frequent flyers w ho would
undergo a one-tim e background
check and use the card to avoid
delays in checking in.
Former Gov. Neil Goldschmidt,
w ho w as chairm an o f the task
force, said program s such as drug
interdiction at the airport w ould
not be abandoned because o f in
creased security dem ands else
where.
“W e are not going to back up
an inch,” he said. H e said the port
has had ex cellen t co operation
from Portland Police and other
agencies but that the tim e is co m
ing “w hen we w ill have to replace
those individuals w ith our ow n.”
G oldschm idt said a goal is to
increase security and not je o p ar
dize passenger convenience. “W e
think w e can have both,” he said.
T he basic goal, he said, “is to
keep people w ith bad intentions
away from airplanes and airports.”
“The traveling public ultimately
will pay for the bulk o f any changes
that occur,” he said.
W yatt said a ticket surcharge
w ould help but w ould not cover
all the costs.
They estim ated the cost o f the
secu rity w o u ld ap p ro x im ately
double, to about $5 m illion, but
G oldschm idt said overtim e since
Sept. 11 already has boosted an
nual costs w ell beyond the usual
$2.5 million.
O ther recom m endations in the
report included:
• Increasing M A X ridership to
the airport in place o f private v e
hicles.
• Expanding airport perim eter se
curity w ith expanded patrols and
physical barriers.
• U sing airport redesign to re
duce vendor truck trips into sa-
cure areas.
• S cree n in g all ca rry -o n and
ch eck ed bags w ith explosives
detection system s.
• C reating a new director o f air
port security system s.
W yatt said m any o f the feder
ally m andated steps have been
carried out.
“T he easy things all have been
done,” he said, adding that the
P ort o f P ortland “is going to be at
this thing for som e tim e.”'
