public more than that of commercial aviation security. Hotly debated issues of how best to provide a secure commercial aviation industry continue to be heard with relatively few having been resolved. The Foreseeable Risk Analysis Center has taken an active role in the debate and will continue to do so by updating the public on the continuing effort to make flying secure from the foreseeable risks of crime and terrorism.
