In another life, long ago, in a galaxy far away, was a member of a squadron that frequently deployed detachments to isolated and not nice places. Our security model was based 99% on exogenous events/effects. The only internal influence considered was weapons proficiency and material assignment for the tech or mechanic that was on watch. Internal personnel security failure, until the recent sand-pile wars, had not been addressed by the military managers that were planning deployments.
Perhaps it is time for commercial aviation to study procedures and processes of internal security for forward deployed military units. Boeing and Airbus spend their lobby dollars on procurement issues; and it may have never occurred to senior corporate management to consider because of the ROI for development of materials to support logistics and tactics of cockpit security. Is the failure of internal personel an extension of 'forseeable misuse' ?
