AIRPORT
WATCH HOTLINE IS ACTIVE
As promised, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on
Monday activated the toll-free hotline for AOPA's Airport Watch
program, 866/GA-SECURE (866/427-3287). The number is one of 20 lines
answered by the National Response Center (NRC). AOPA worked closely
with the TSA to educate the NRC about general aviation and GA airports
and helped develop the types of questions the NRC operators will ask
people who call in. On Monday afternoon AOPA's Aviation Services staff
members placed several calls to 866/GA-SECURE as part of a previously
arranged simulation to give the NRC operators a chance to use the
newly developed protocols. AOPA will be mailing Airport Watch
brochures to its entire membership in late December. Additional
program items such as the video, posters, and signs will be available
in January 2003. See AOPA Online.
