Change Ahead for Troubled Boston Airport Agency. In trauma, people point fingers; trying by hindsight to take control of the uncontrollable and contingent. So you have to walk a fine line between that tendency and the need to investigate the roots of the disaster. As a Bostonian, I was wary of the assertions that Logan security had been particularly lax. Defensively, “It could’ve ben any major U.S. city.” But what can you say about Massport, the agency that runs the airport, where the security chief was a patronage appointee who had previously been the Massachusetts governor’s driver, and he succeeded a security chief who had been the driver for the previous governor’s wife? Where more than 100 airport security badges have gone missing in the past two years? In fact, now I’m hearing that, after planes were grounded in the wake of the attacks, suspicious passengers who may have been intending to hijack another flight outbound from Boston were allowed to debark with no scrutiny.
