Date: Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Location: Teterboro, New Jersey
Flight Details:
Flight N714JA, a Gulfstream V part of Jet Aviation's Private Fleet, is set to depart at 8:30 a.m. to LAX with a crew of three and fourteen passengers.

Background:
Kay Hughes, the flight attendant for today’s coast-to-coast journey, is busy with last-minute preparations. Captain Bob Harmon and First Officer Jeff Mortowski are in the cockpit completing pre-flight checks. The passengers, a mix of business and personal travelers from the New York area, are eagerly awaiting their flight.

The Day Begins:
Kay awakes with a jolt to her alarm at 5:15 a.m. Though tempted by the snooze button, her thoughts quickly shift to her upcoming tasks. Soon, she’ll be en route to Los Angeles with a plane full of passengers. She begins her day with a coffee and a quick shower, focusing on the long day ahead.
On the tarmac, Kay notices the fuel truck arriving and caterers waiting for security clearance. It’s already 6:48 a.m., and the heat is palpable. At least Los Angeles would be cooler, she thinks.
She exchanges greetings with Jeff, overseeing fuel delivery, and joins Bob, who is finalizing paperwork. The morning moves swiftly as Kay helps the caterers and readies for boarding.
At 8:00 a.m., the boarding announcement echoes: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Jet Aviation Flight
001 to LAX is now boarding. Please present your ID and boarding pass to the security agent. We appreciate you choosing Jet Aviation.”
Kay positions herself at the bottom of the aircraft steps, awaiting the security-cleared passengers. She considers retreating inside to escape the heat but opts to stay, ready to assist anyone.

Unexpected Turn:
After what feels like an eternity, with her hair wilting in the heat, Bob emerges from the cockpit. “We’ve got a situation,” he informs her. One passenger has failed security clearance due to an FBI alert. It’s a tense realization, but Kay is reassured by the reliability of the Voice Recognition Identification Technology (VRIT) used in the FBO.
In its six months of operation, VRIT has identified twenty-six individuals with criminal backgrounds. For the first time, it identified a suspected terrorist. As sirens wail, Kay knows this day is far from ordinary.

Imagining the Future:
Though fictional, this story hints at potential developments: widespread terrorist threats and evolving travel protocols. VRIT, now within reach, might soon be as common as a driver’s license, identifying passengers with voice patterns matched against a database. Foreign nationals would need to integrate into the system, leading to a globally connected network.
I recently spoke with Russ Cooper from COMPUTEK, a company pioneering the latest VRIT advancements. Already used by the FBI and CIA, the technology holds vast potential for government agencies, security firms, airports, and more. Despite concerns about voice impersonation, Russ ensures that VRIT can discern even disguised voices.
Though cost implications might arise, benefits could include reduced insurance premiums if passenger security improves.

Flight Attendant's Role:
Flight attendants might play a pivotal role in VRIT deployment. Equipped with portable VRIT devices, they could screen passengers themselves, even in remote locations. The scenario unfolds:
Kay descends the aircraft with her VRIT device as passengers approach. “Welcome aboard Jet Aviation flight
001 to L.A. Please speak your name into the VRIT unit for clearance.”
One by one, passengers comply, each granted boarding after a quick voice check. The process connects to satellites and VRIT HQ in Washington, DC. Finally, the pilots and Kay undergo the check. When Kay’s attempt fails, triggering a red alert, she’s momentarily panicked.

Back to Reality:
Startled, Kay wakes up. It was all a dream triggered by the snooze alarm.

This dream points to a future where VRIT could redefine air travel security, blending technology with human elements for a safer journey.
