According to advance extracts released by the Conservatives, it will point to last summer's attempted car bomb attack on Glasgow Airport - where no armed police were on duty - as evidence of the inadequate security coverage.
Among the weaknesses it will point to are the air cargo system - which, it says, is vulnerable to plots to place explosives aboard aircraft - and the plethora of small airfields within easy flying distance of continental Europe.
"The lack of a clear border security strategy has resulted in a situation in which agencies are unaware of where their shared priorities lie," the report will say.
"This has resulted in key duties not being carried out, resources not properly allocated, organisations not working together as they should and focus being placed on narrow border control issues, specific to each agency and not the overall border security picture of the UK."
