Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS GUATEMALA 000449 SIPDIS SENSITIVE FOR FAA: KRISTA BERQUIST, TSA MIAMI: VICTOR GUARDIA E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: EAIR, GT SUBJECT: ICAO'S MEETING IN CAIRO, GUATEMALA'S PARTICIPATION REF: SECSTATE 35954 Guatemalan Civil Aviation (DGAC) authorities will not participate in ICAO's meeting in Cairo, nor have they taken any positions on key agenda items. The new Director for Civil Aviation, Juan Antonio Presa, came to the job in late January with the change in government. The new administration, at our urging, has made improving airport security a priority, and Presa's efforts are focused on securing the additional resources needed. Presa seems sincere in his efforts to address serious weaknesses highlighted by a recent TSA team visit and with the amount and urgency of the work to be done, it is unlikely he will be prepared to focus in the short-term, on broader ICAO issues.
