Starr International Airport Poor Security Rating
6/17/2007
The Federal Government just issued a security document showing that Boys State Starr International Airport ranks poor for security.
The airport ranked in the bottom ten of the worst security in the nation. Boys States geographic location allows for many international flights to pass through. This presents a serious concern in this global war on terrorism. Our home soil is vulnerable as we are an extension of the United States. Many enemies will no doubt see this report and focus on Boys State as a soft target, says former terrorism expert for the state department. For many years the State Government has given us no help in funding or manpower when dealing with Starr Airport. We as the city of Fillmore carry the burden with a little help from the federal government, says a former Fillmore City Councilmen. He is right in the fact that the cost to upgrade Starr International will be heavy and all of Boys State has a vested interest in the safety of our state.
