Dulles Airport security generally surfers from poorpersonnel management, characterized by low pay, no health insurancebenefits, and little growth potential. Argenbright often hires

employees who are unsuited for their position because they are notsecurity-minded, including supervisors. EBADI encountered numeroussituations where supervisors took little or no action when alertedto security concerns by employees.Dulles International Airport, in general, suffers underthe direction of supervisorswho have lost sight of the need fo rsecurity within every area of airport operations. EBADI estimatesthat 90% of Dulles supervisors are Pakistani or Asian Indianwhoshow preference toward those of their ownethnicity when hiring andpromoting employees, showing little regard for the need to hireemployees who are uniquely qualified for a given task.

One chief weakness in Dulles Airport security is theemployee identification badge. With an identification badge.Dulles employees are allowed free access throughout the airport,regardless of their duties or need for such access. Employees withthe proper identification can pass through checkpoints withouttheir persons or belongings being checked.Prior to the terrorism, United Airlines' Cargo Sixfacility was not secure. EBADI regularly saw individuals in CargoSix whom he did not know nor believe had reason to be there. Cargo

Six allowed persons to freely enter and exit the facility. Personscould enter through Cargo Six, then continue into the AirportOperations Area, including Concourse C and awaiting aircraft.Since the 09/11/2001 terrorism, Cargo Six facilities are moresecure; however, vulnerabilities still exist. Employees are notscreened for contraband, neither their persons nor any bags orparcels that they may carry into the facility.[PDF page 2]
