Study Notes
The Threat to Aviation
- The threat to aviation is assessed on a scale of critical to low.
- Terrorists, criminals, insiders, radicalised persons, referees, asylum seekers and protesters all pose a possible threat.
- Terrorists are a known threat to civil aviation, often using a variety of methods such as sabotage, armed attack, and IEDs. (Improvised Explosive Devices).
- Civil aviation is a target for terrorists because of its highly visible nature and the potential for large casualties.
Searching Baggage
- There are many different enhancements available when using x-ray equipment to screen baggage.
- Enhancements are used to make specific items more visible or enhance their edges.
- The Smiths Detection keyboard is the primary interface for operating x-ray machines.
Explosive Trace Detection Equipment
- Two common types of Explosive Trace Detection Equipment (ETDE) used are the Rapiscan Morpho and the Smiths IonScan 600.
- Both ETDE types are touch screen operated and can be used with either mains or battery power.
- On all types of bag searches, the handles, zips, pockets, lining, electrical items and anything that cannot be physically searched need to be swabbed.
- ETDE is used to detect explosives and trace substances used in the manufacture of explosives.
Patrolling and Searching SRA
- An effective patrol will challenge staff, report faults and breaches, use correct radio protocol, keep clear records, and carry out tasks at random times.
- When searching is required, a search of the air bridge, as well as the associated areas, will be conducted by security personnel.
- Additional patrols and searches will be carried out during non-EU flight arrivals and at the Critical Part (CP).
- No airport supplies are exempt from security screening, however, supplies screened by a Known Supplier prior to delivery will only have the seal and Known Supplier list checked.
- If airport supplies cannot be adequately screened at CP, they must be escorted to the offload point and searched there.
Searching Airport Supplies
- Prohibited items include weapons, explosives, and anything else that could be used to cause harm.
- If a prohibited item is discovered, the item must be removed and the correct escalation procedures followed.
- If an item is illegal or concealed, the supervisor must be informed.
- If a firearm or IED/IID component parts are discovered, immediate action is required.
