Perhaps the current reporting system should be sorted out first.

A few months ago at a largish regional airport we noticed a vehicle parked in an unusual position. It was on the wrong side of the road and not in an area where any aircraft movements could be viewed. In fact there was no reason for him to be there for any length of time. He was back the next day so the driver was challenged. He ignored the challenge so we called the Airport Operator who challenged him with no result. We called the Feds on the provided number. Nothing happened and he was back all week and into the next few weeks.Numerous calls to State Police,Federal Police and anybody else we could think of and he's still there.About a month later after calls to local area command, the State police turn up totally disinterested.

My take on the whole airport security is its all smoke and mirrors.
