ASE Threatened by Terrorism?
ASE Threatened by Terrorism?
Sounds silly, right? And it probably is – at least where I come from.
So one has to wonder if having the testing done at certain test centers is the best idea. ASE certification is not mandatory – it has to be “sold” not unlike selling preventive maintenance to a customer. The customer is volunteering to spend his or her time, money, and effort for something.
What do you think would happen to preventive maintenance sales at your shop if the customer was required to partially remove clothing, remove pretty much anything that is not clothing and have a wand run all over their body?
As time goes on, ASE test numbers will suffer. For some it’s no big deal. For others, it’s over the line. Reasonable security that is proportional to the “threat” can be achieved in a far more customer friendly manner. Treating all test takers as potential criminals or terrorists is ridiculous – at least where I come from.
ASE – you need to find a better way.
