HARI SREENIVASAN (NewsHour): For more about whether the crash of that Malaysian jetliner was an act of terrorism, we are joined now from Washington by Rafi Ron. He is an aviation security expert and former director of security at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion International Airport.
So, Mr. Ron, of what we do know we have a few things confirmed: We had good weather. We had experienced pilots. We had solid safety records for both the airline and the aircraft. We had no distress signal. And then we have the incidence of these stolen passports. Does it all point toward a security failure and terrorism.
RAFI RON: There’s no question that there is a security failure by the fact that two people were allowed to board the flight with identities that do not belong to them. But whether this security failure is connected in any way to the destruction of the aircraft – or the disappearance of the aircraft – it is still yet to be determined. At this time there is no direct evidence to tie up the two events.
