Who has the authority to incorporate the basic principles of risk management and layered approaches to security under the National Strategy for Aviation Security published in 2007?

  1. Federal Aviation Administrator

  2. Secretary of Transportation

  3. Director of Homeland Security

  4. National Security Advisor

The correct answer is: Director of Homeland Security

The Director of Homeland Security is responsible for incorporating the basic principles of risk management and layered approaches to security under the National Strategy for Aviation Security published in 2007. This responsibility falls under the Department of Homeland Security, which was established to protect the country from threats such as terrorism. The Federal Aviation Administrator, Secretary of Transportation, and National Security Advisor do not have direct authority for this task. The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for regulating and overseeing the safety and security of civil aviation, while the Secretary of Transportation oversees policies and programs related to transportation. The National Security Advisor advises the President on national security and foreign policy matters, but does not have direct authority over aviation security. Therefore, the Director of Homeland Security is the correct answer.
