Reader Comment – 05-12-09 More Video Escort

John Bennet provided additional information on Coast Guard monitoring requirements in comments he posted to yesterday’s blog on reader comments. He found these requirements in a non-regulatory Coast Guard Navigation and Inspection Circular on implementing TWIC requirements in the maritime sector. John notes that the guidance does not provide much detail on how to respond “if the TWIC-less person is moving into an unauthorized area or is engaging in unauthorized activities” {Section 3.3c.(2)(b) of Enclosure (3)}. It goes back to the question of compliance vs security; video escorting may provide regulatory compliance, but does it actually contribute to the security of the facility?
