Aviation Security

This involves measures taken to protect passengers, crew, aircraft, and airport facilities from threats such as terrorism, hijacking, and sabotage. Some common aviation security measures include:

  • Passenger screening: This involves checking passengers and their belongings for prohibited items such as weapons, explosives, and flammable liquids. This may involve X-ray machines, metal detectors, and body scanners.
  • Cargo screening: This involves checking cargo for prohibited items and ensuring that it is properly manifested and documented.
  • Aircraft security: This involves measures taken to protect aircraft from unauthorized access and tampering. This may include security measures in the cockpit, cabin, and cargo hold.
  • Airport security: This involves measures taken to protect the airport itself from unauthorized access and attacks. This may include perimeter fencing, security checkpoints, and security patrols.
