Merrill
Field Airport
Merrill Field Airport's security system consisted of a
five-foot fence, several readers with one master code,
and insufficient maintenance capabilities. This combination
made controlling access impossible. Gate security was easily
breached and inadequately controlled with garage door type
clickers; one clicker for each gate. Customers were required
to carry several clickers to pass through multiple gates.
The airport access road intersects two taxiways. Drivers
have strayed onto the taxiways and runways from these intersections. |
