A British Airways worker was arrested in March on suspicion of raising funds for a terrorist attack. The alleged plot to raise funds for a terrorist attack – possibly on an airline – is thought to have been uncovered following a tip-off.
The employee was among 800 staff dealing with passenger bookings in one of BA’s two UK-based call centres. Staff can access to details of thousands of flights and are familiar with basic security procedures.
A useful guide on how to manage the risk of insider threats can be obtained from the website of the the UK's Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.
