This is an update of two previously published books on this subject, which are both included in this volume.
As the last remaining member of, and press officer for, the Federal Aviation Administration's anti-skyjacking task force that developed the original procedure during 1969-70, the author has unique personal experience.
The general theme is that the government is going around in procedural circles to provide "security" when a return to the original Dailey Profile as Step One would provide the same, if not better, protection against potential skyjacking. The book also defines the difference between domestic events and perceived terrorism.
