The TSA has recently fallen under scrutiny for bypassing their traditional employee background screening process. Integrated Security takes a personal approach to personal security to avoid these sorts of costly hiccups.
Yes, I’m afraid you read that title correctly. The Transportation Security Administration, an agency under the supervision of The Dept. of Homeland Security, otherwise known as the reason you dread going to the airport, is facing heightened scrutiny at the moment for not properly investigating potential employees during the hiring process.
According to an article on the Huffington Post, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is facing a large backlog of employee background checks and making hires before those checks are completed. This issue can be partially attributed to a change in the digital system through which new employee information is processed.
While almost every part of our lives is handled by computers and automation, perhaps we should consider a more personal approach when it comes to safety matters this important.
The Problem with Automation
While the TSA’s system failure in Atlanta is a serious one, it’s certainly not the only time a price has been paid for choosing automation over thoroughness. Virtual systems provide the enticing advantages of being quick, intuitive, and simple, and applicants can often complete the process from the comfort of their own homes.
However, we can easily see where and how problems arise here. Just like what happened at Hartsfield-Jackson, applications and background checks can go missing, pile up, or simply get lost in a computer program’s endless database.
So when it comes to something as important as the protection of you and your family, doesn’t a detailed and personal approach make more sense?
