How can we make flying safer? That question has been on the top of many minds since the Sept. 11 terror attack. Nineteen thugs managed to make it through security systems and hijack four airplanes. Clearly, the system failed on some level.

But what's the solution? Should we make the federal government responsible for security? Or will that just create another slow-moving bureaucracy?

IBD spoke with Viggo Butler, chairman of United Airports Limited, which specializes in the privatization of airports. Butler also recently served on the Federal Aviation Administration's Research, Engineering & Development Advisory Committee and chaired its security subcommittee.

IBD:What's the biggest hole in the airport safety system?

Butler: We've focused a lot recently on screening passengers, but we need to be concerned with everyone who has access to aircraft. We need to be just as concerned about workers with access to airplanes and to secure areas of the airport.

We need to do a better job of screening those people, finding out who they are, what their backgrounds are.
