I toured the new state of the art tower at Addison airport last week and
was struck by all the security measures they employed.

The entire complex and parking lot was surrounded by a dense wrought iron
fence with a nasty "fish hook" shaped sharp pointed curve at the top.
An
intercom opened the gate. The entrance to the tower was an interlock of
bulletproof glass doors that locked you in a holding area until someone
checked the video camera and buzzed you in.

I assume this is all a reaction to our new terrorist threat, but I
haven't
been able to come up with any reason for all that security. Let's say
some terrorists took the tower, what's the worst thing they could do?


Frankly it just sounds like a waste to me too. Kind of makes you wonder of
if some of the decision makes don't have relatives in security
construction services business, or someone had some unneeded budget money
for security improvements.

Like 98% of the Post 911 security enhancements, this is eyewash to make the
public believe the politicians are "doing something" to prevent future
terror events.
