Flight attendants are stepping up pressure to close what some call a back door to airport terrorism: ground-crew security. Nearly eight months after the terrorist hijackings, thousands of airport mechanics, caterers and ramp workers still have access to airplanes and runways without passing through metal detectors or undergoing regular searches.
Transportation Department spokesman Lenny Alcivar says ground-crew employees "must go through a thorough background and criminal records check as well as prescreening procedures." At most airports, however, those workers are not subject to regular searches or asked to pass through metal detectors as pilots and flight attendants are.
The access continues, despite provisions in the new Aviation and Transportation Security Act that require tighter measures. The Transportation Security Act, passed by Congress after the hijackings, requires workers with access to a "secured area of an airport" to be screened in a manner "that will assure at least the same level of protection as will result from screening of passengers and their baggage." Those screening measures should be taken "as soon as practicable." "Whether background checks and random searches fulfill the provisions of the law is an open question, " says David Schaffer, counsel to the House subcommittee on aviation. He says the law requires "some sort of screening, " but it does not require ground-crew employees "to go through metal detectors."
Deciding which steps to take will not be easy. Workers often leave and reenter secured areas. Making them pass through metal detectors or regularly searching them would be burdensome. Moreover, because the layout of each airport is different, developing uniform standards could prove difficult. Even so, reports from flight attendants around the nation indicate that few searches of ground crew are being conducted, and only a swipe card is needed to access secured areas at many airports. Results of tests from November through early February by the Transportation Department’s inspector general
underscore
the concerns. Memos obtained show that undercover agents secretly boarded aircraft or gained access to the runway in nearly half their tries. We are only creating the illusion of security where the traveling public can see. Meanwhile, the part that they cannot see, nothing is being done.
According to David Schaffer, the law______.
选项
A、requires all ground crew be regularly body-searched
B、does not require the ground crew be inspected
C、does not speculate clearly how to screen the ground crew
D、is open to discussion
答案
C
解析
本题为细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“He says the law requires‘some sort of screening,’but it does not require ground-crew employees‘to go through metal detectors.’”可知,法律要求进行“某种检查”,但并没有要求地勤员工“通过金属探测器”进行检查。由此可知,法律并没有明确规定地勤员工如何进行检查。C项符合原文意思。根据第三段中的“Whether background checks and random searches fulfill the provisions of the law is an open question”可知,背景检查和随机搜查是否符合法律条款是一个存在争议的问题,由此可知,并非法律存在争议,因此D项不符合原文意思。因此,C项正确。
