Bossert on National Security: “We Really Are That Good.”

The Trump administration has stepped up global airline security over the last year “by a factor of five,” Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Thomas Bossert told Cipher Brief Publisher and CEO Suzanne Kelly, in a wide-ranging interview at the 2nd annual Threat Conference in Sea Island, Ga., Monday.

Bossert said aviation security had been improved with both changes in methods, technology and bringing back tried-and-true detection methods like dogs, due to the rising threat from groups like ISIS.
