Study Notes
Overview of Aviation Security
- Aviation security refers to the measures taken to protect aircraft, airports, and passengers from illegal interference, including hijacking, sabotage, and terrorism.
- The primary goal of aviation security is to prevent unauthorized access to aircraft and airport facilities.
Threats to Aviation Security
- Unlawful seizure of aircraft
- Hijacking
- Sabotage
- Bomb threats
- Cyber threats
- Insider threats
- Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats
Airport Security Measures
- Access control:
- Restricted areas for passengers, staff, and visitors
- ID checks and background screening
- Surveillance:
- CCTV cameras
- Motion detectors
- Intrusion detection systems
- Screening:
- Passenger screening (e.g., metal detectors, X-ray machines)
- Baggage screening
- Cargo screening
- Perimeter security:
- Fencing and barriers
- Patrols and surveillance
Aircraft Security Measures
- Access control:
- Limited access to aircraft cabins and cockpits
- Secure doors and locks
- Surveillance:
- CCTV cameras
- Motion detectors
- Screening:
- Passenger screening before boarding
