text: I worked at HNL back in 1973 and all security was handled by HPD . They had a office to get your photo taken and take care of other issues. You also felt safe as a traveller walking thru the airport because of the presents of beat officers. They also controlled access gates and all other security issues. As soon as the politicians stuck their noses into it to save money theres all of theses issues. At least with HPD you have an established chain of command and knew what was going on.
