[JYO] LOCK UP, LOOK OUT: AOPA AIRPORT WATCH ADVISORY IN THE MAIL

 
LOCK UP, LOOK OUT: AOPA AIRPORT WATCH ADVISORY IN THE MAIL
In just a few days, every pilot in the United States will  be receiving an 
Airport Watch security reminder in the mail from AOPA and the  Transportation 
Security Administration (TSA). And that's certainly timely,  particularly since 
the TSA is asking all pilots to review Airport Watch  procedures in light of 
the foiled terrorist plot in the United Kingdom. The  message is clear: Lock 
upâ
look out. It's part of AOPA and the TSA's updated _AOPA Airport Watch 
program_ (http://www.aopa.org/airportwatch/) .  "Airport Watch works. We know 
it. The 
TSA knows it," said AOPA President Phil  Boyer. "Now we've completely updated 
the program, incorporating all we've  learned since it started nearly four 
years ago." Airport managers, state  aviation directors, select state 
legislators, and many FAA offices will also be  receiving a training DVD about 
Airport 
Watch. AOPA urges you to share the  information and materials with everyone at 
your airport. "Airport Watch is a  simple, cost-effective program that works 
at all airports," said Boyer. "If  eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, 
then we're taking this opportunity to  remind pilots to protect their freedom 
to fly by keeping a watchful eye on their  local airports." _View a video
