A healthy and growing air transport system creates and supports millions of jobs worldwide. It forms part of the economic lifeline of many countries. It is a catalyst for travel and tourism and the world's largest industry. Beyond economics, air transport enriches the social and cultural fabric of society. In recent years the aviation industry has seen the emergence of world-wide attacks against the safety and security of the travelling public, airports, aircraft and other persons working within the aviation industry on and off airport and air navigation facilities. The counter-measures to these acts against civil aviation can be effective only as long as the people responsible for protecting civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference receive appropriate training to carry out their jobs efficiently and effectively. This Trainee Reference Book has been developed by The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), to enable trainees to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to be better able to implement Aviation Security preventive measures. This is in accordance with the appropriate National Civil Aviation Security Program, Airport / Airline Security Programs and Aviation Security Standards and Recommended Practices prescribed by ICAO.

Aviation Security Principles  Civil Aviation shall operate from a Safe and Secure environment;  Develop and implement Legislation and procedures necessary to ensure a safe and secure environment;  Security measures shall be consistent with Standards  Prosecute or extradite persons who carry out acts of unlawful interference Nature of Threats Conventional / Traditional threats to Civil Aviation  Sabotage of Aircraft  Sabotage of Airports  Unlawful seizure of aircraft; and  Armed attacks on / off airport facilities. New and Emerging threats to Civil Aviation  Suicide Attack on the Airport/Aircraft Facilities  Use of Aircraft as a weapon of mass destruction AVSEC BASIC Handout/2019 Restricted  Aviation Security Basic Handout Restricted Page 34 of 252  Use of Nuclear weapon, Radioactive Substances and Dangerous Goods.  Use of Chemical and Biological warfare  Air to air attack by Missile  Ground to Air attack by Missile (MANPADS)  Cyber Terrorism  Use of Magnetic System  Attack through the electronic system to misguide the air traffic communication. TYPES / CHARACTERISTICS OF OFFENDERS  Mentally deranged persons / Psychotics  Persons seeking revenge - Disgruntled employees /Dissatisfied passengers  Terrorists individuals and groups  Criminals individuals and groups TERRORISM Terrorism is an act of placing someone in extreme fear. It is the unlawful use of violence against the Public to intimidate a Government. Factors contributing to terrorism:  Religious factors  Economic conditions of a country  Natural disasters  Political factors  Social recognition The supports needed by the terrorist organizations:  Financial support  Motivated manpower  Support of Public  Arms & Ammunition  Media  Training AVSEC BASIC Handout/2019 Restricted  Aviation Security Basic Handout Restricted Page 35 of 252 Who are the Terrorists?  Terrorists are generally people who feel alienated from society and have a grievance or regard themselves as victims of an injustice.  Terrorists are devoted to their political or religious cause and do not regard their violent actions as criminal.  Terrorists are ruthless and show no fear, pity or remorse. Characteristics of Terrorists  Target specific individuals on an aircraft, such as Diplomats or VIPs  Engender fear of flying in the general public and disrupt normal life; and  Obtain the release of prisoners, perhaps from their own group  They operate in small groups or complex networks  They are usually well organized  Have access to necessary resources such as money, technical expertise, weapons, explosives and sometimes supported by governments or States; and  Aims are political in nature Characteristics of Criminals Attacks on Civil Aviation by criminal groups or individuals are rare and their motivation is:  Monetary gain or  Extortion  Personal gains  Difficult to classify  Unpredictable CBRN – chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attack  Chemical warfare  Biological warfare  Radiological substances  Nuclear weapons A growing concern among security professionals is that terrorists will someday use CBRN materials, in an attack against an unsuspecting public. Chemical weapons are those that are effective because their chemical action can cause death, permanent harm or temporary incapacity. AVSEC BASIC Handout/2019 Restricted  Aviation Security Basic Handout Restricted Page 36 of 252 Some toxic chemicals, such as phosgene, hydrogen cyanide and tear gas, may be used for both civil and peaceful, and hostile purposes. When they are used for hostile purposes, they are considered chemical weapons. Biological weapons are weapons that achieve their intended effects by infecting people with deliberate release of dangerous bacteria, viruses or fungi, or biological toxins (e.g. Anthrax, Small pox, ricin, a natural toxin occurring in plants). Radiological weapon is designed to spread radioactive material such as uranium, plutonium etc with the intent to kill and cause disruption upon a city or nation. Nuclear: Death and injury caused from caused from the effects of an explosion that includes blinding light, intense heat (thermal radiation), initial nuclear radiation, blast, fires started by the heat pulse, and secondary fires caused by the destruction. Why is civil aviation considered as an attractive target?  Instant Publicity  Aircraft is mobile  Different nationalities on board  Aircraft can be easily taken in control  Aircraft itself can be used as a missile  Small amount of explosive is sufficient to cause huge damage to aircraft  Adverse impact on tourism thereby furthering the terrorist cause  Excellent Means of extortion  Economic damage to the country  Economic damage to the airline  Airline carry the flag of the nation  Large number of people in a confined area Where can the threats come from? AVSEC BASIC Handout/2019 Restricted  Aviation Security Basic Handout Restricted Page 37 of 252  Terrorist disguised as a passenger with the intent to hijack the plane  A terrorist may infiltrate a piece of luggage containing an explosive device directly onto the conveyor belt  Using naïve passenger to infiltrate a bomb into their luggage  Explosive device concealed at the check in area set to explode during the operations  Direct attack  Explosive device placed at the boarding gate area  Passenger used after check-in  Interline passengers and baggage  Cargo/Courier infiltration  Catering infiltration  Airport employees  Terrorist disguised as an airport worker  Explosive device or weapon left on board to be used on the second leg of the flight UNLAWFUL SEIZURE OF AIRCRAFT (HIJACKING) What are the techniques used for hijacking? In order to execute a hijack of an aircraft, the perpetrator must be able to coerce the pilot-in- command. Therefore, it is necessary to: Smuggle weapons onto the aircraft (examples of how this has been done ranges from concealment in toys to false prosthetics) Possible collusion with or bribery of airport or airline staff Armed assault. This has been has been used on several occasions The types of weapons used vary and may include pistols, automatic weapons, explosive charges, knives, or flammable material. SABOTAGE Sabotage techniques Most sabotage devices targeted against aircraft are either explosive or incendiary devices and can even be a combination of the two. The saboteur needs to have access to the aircraft to plant the device or place the device on the aircraft using passenger baggage, air cargo, catering or other stores loaded onto the aircraft prior to flight. The most common means of infiltrating sabotage devices in the past have been: AVSEC BASIC Handout/2019 Restricted  Aviation Security Basic Handout Restricted Page 38 of 252  Infiltration of device into baggage;  Collusion with airport or airline staff to place device on aircraft;  Subterfuge, use of an unsuspecting dupe Sabotage of airports Certain critical areas of an airport are vital to the continued operation of an airport, namely:  Runway;  Passenger terminal buildings;  Navigational aids;  Electrical power supplies;  Air Traffic Control communications;  Aviation fuel storage;  Rescue and fire-fighting services. Any sabotage to the above facilities can seriously impair the functioning of the airport. Suicide bomber While most successful saboteurs move away from the event of the device activation the suicidal saboteur is ready to kill himself for the cause. Whether a religious, political or nationalistic fanatic, these individuals or groups present a formidable threat to today’s security measures. These offenders may endeavor to achieve sabotage by: Carrying the device on their person; or Providing the means to have a device boarded through their checked baggage.
