Sensitive Aviation Security Information *****END**** MODULE -5 RECOGNITION OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICES AND PROHIBITED ARTICLES Page 95 of 335 Warning: This document contains sensitive aviation security information which is regulated under rules 54 and 55 of the Aircraft (Security) Rules, 2023. No part of this document may be disclosed to a person without a “need to know” as defined in NCASP.  Sensitive Aviation Security Information MODULE -5 RECOGNITION OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICES AND OTHER PROHIBITED ARTICLES Prohibited articles. Articles which are, in the specific context of aviation security, defined as those articles, devices or substances which may be used to commit an act of unlawful interference against civil aviation or which may endanger the safety of the aircraft and its occupants, or installations, or the public. These are objects which can be used to commit an act of unlawful interference and which has not been properly declared. For clarification and identification purposes, potential prohibited items can be grouped into two generic categories, as follows: - A) Dangerous goods listed in Table 3-1 of Doc 9284: “Articles or substances which are capable of posing a risk to health, safety or the environment and which are shown in the list of dangerous goods in the Technical Instructions or which are classified according to the Technical Instructions.” i) prohibited for transport in accordance with Part 8. Unless proper measures are taken, Part 8 dangerous goods cannot be carried in passenger baggage but might be acceptable as cargo. ii) permitted for transport in accordance with Part 8, but whose carriage in the cabin may be restricted by a security ban. iii) permitted for transport in accordance with Part 8, but whose carriage in the cabin may not be permitted under aircraft operator policy; or iv) permitted for transport in accordance with Part 8, but whose carriage in the cabin is not permitted; and Classification of Dangerous Goods Class 1 = Explosives; Class 2 = Gases Class 3 = Flammable liquids; Class 4 = Flammable solids; substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, on contact with water, emit flammable gases; Class 5 = Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides; Class 6 = Toxic and infectious substances; Class 7 = Radioactive material; Class 8 = Corrosive substances; and Class 9 = Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles, including environmentally hazardous substances. B) Restricted Articles: “Articles which are, in the specific context of aviation security, defined as those articles, Page 96 of 335 Warning: This document contains sensitive aviation security information which is regulated under rules 54 and 55 of the Aircraft (Security) Rules, 2023. No part of this document may be disclosed to a person without a “need to know” as defined in NCASP.  Sensitive Aviation Security Information devices or substances which may be used to commit an act of unlawful interference against civil aviation, or which may endanger the safety of the aircraft and its occupants, or installations, or the public.” That are not considered dangerous goods, but whose carriage is nonetheless prohibited in the cabin and, for security reasons, are not transferable to hold baggage. Restricted articles are not allowed to be taken into security restricted areas and, if feasible, prevented from entering public areas of an airport unless their carriage is authorized, and adequate safety and security measures are in place. Additionally, restricted articles not allowed to be taken inside an aircraft cabin or placed in an aircraft hold without authorization. Categories of Restricted Items To aid identification, prohibited items in the context of aviation security can be classified into the following categories. Firearms, and other weapons; Stunning devices; Sharp and pointed/edged objects; Workers ’tools; Blunt instruments; Explosives and incendiary substances and devices; and Liquids, Aerosols and Gels (LAGs). Category 1 – Firearms and Other Weapons Category 1 refers to guns, firearms and other devices that discharge projectiles designed to cause serious injury by discharging a projectile, or capable of being mistaken for such devices, including: Firearms of all types, including pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns; Toy guns, replicas and imitation firearms capable of being mistaken for real weapons; Component parts of firearms, excluding telescopic sights; Compressed air and carbon dioxide guns, including pistols, pellet guns, rifles and ball bearing guns; Signal flare pistols and starter pistols; Bows, crossbows and arrows; Harpoon guns and spear guns; and Slingshots and catapults.

No part of this document may be disclosed to a person without a “need to know” as defined in NCASP.  Sensitive Aviation Security Information Handling of Prohibited Items Many prohibited articles may be carried by the public legally but could be used to commit an act of unlawful interference or would endanger the safety of the aircraft when carried in the aircraft passenger cabin, may be transported as hold baggage if they do not endanger the safety of the aircraft and are properly packed, sealed and authorized for carriage by Aircraft Operator. Such items should be processed in one of the following ways: Placed in the passengers hold baggage unless the item would endanger the safety of the aircraft. Confiscated and subsequently properly disposed of or destroyed. Confiscated and kept in storage by the airport authorities or relevant aircraft operator for later return to the passenger. Removed and once properly prepared and packaged, transported in the hold of the aircraft for later return to the passenger at his ticketed destination. Some Restricted Articles may be prohibited or restricted from carriage in the cabin of an aircraft but may be transported in the hold of the aircraft, provided that such articles: Do not endanger the aircraft; Are properly packed; and Are authorized for carriage by the aircraft operator concerned. Persons tasked primarily with the detection of prohibited articles should also be aware that there are certain articles or substances which are classified as “dangerous goods” by the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air.

IED’s could be of any size and shape. IED could be manufactured in any innocuous objects such as Briefc a s e , Suitcase, Tiffin carrier, Sweet packet, Gift item, Radio, Laptop computer, TV, VCR, Telephone, Cycle, Scooter, Car, Vehicle etc. It may be operated electrically or mechanically and designed to explode while handling or by use of any delay mechanism or remote control etc. Its components are: 1. Explosive material (main charge) 2. Detonator 3. Power source 4. Switch/ Mechanism Page 100 of 335 Warning: This document contains sensitive aviation security information which is regulated under rules 54 and 55 of the Aircraft (Security) Rules, 2023. No part of this document may be disclosed to a person without a “need to know” as defined in NCASP.  Sensitive Aviation Security Information 1. Explosive material To attack the aviation industry the terrorist will prefer using high explosive as it is safe to carry, small quantity is sufficient to cause a huge damage, it is also easy to conceal. 2. Detonator There are various devices used for initiating explosives and connecting charges. These include detonators, fuses, and shock tube. A detonator is a small cylinder containing an initiating explosive and, usually, a “booster” charge of high explosive. It is used to initiate the detonation of high explosives. In blasting and demolition, the detonator is normally stored separately from the high explosives and inserted only when the charges are placed, and the area is evacuated. Non-Electric detonators are open at one end. A fuse is inserted into the open end and the spark from the fuse impinges on the initiating explosive and fires the detonator. The plain detonator is sometimes used with percussion caps and other devices which can produce a flame. This is half filled and half empty for inserting safety fuse.

No part of this document may be disclosed to a person without a “need to know” as defined in NCASP.  Sensitive Aviation Security Information Electric detonators have wires emerging at one end. They are fired by passing an electric current through the wires. In terrorist and criminal use, a battery together with an improvised electrical delay circuit (timer and power unit) is commonly used to initiate the detonator. 3. Power Source Power sources of bomb could be from normal batteries such as 1.5V, pencil and torch cells, 6V, 9V etc. There are flat batteries, which can be used for letter bombs. Latest batteries manufactured in pure plastic containers, which are difficult to view in x‐ray machine. 4. IED Initiating Mechanism or Switches used in an IED: These are also known as Bomb Initiating Mechanism. It normally is based on four principles they employ such as: Page 102 of 335 Warning: This document contains sensitive aviation security information which is regulated under rules 54 and 55 of the Aircraft (Security) Rules, 2023. No part of this document may be disclosed to a person without a “need to know” as defined in NCASP.  Sensitive Aviation Security Information ANTI HANDLING DELAYED AMBIENT CONDITION REMOTE CONTROL/ COMMAND ANTI HANDLING Anti-Handling Bombs when it is inadvertently removed, lifted, or opened it may explode. Anti-handling switches may vary from a small micro switch to improvised switch such as cloth-peg or loop made from normal electrical wire. It is otherwise called as “Victim operated switch”. DELAYED Delayed Bombs delay was achieved by normal clockwork mechanism like watch or timepiece. Delay can also be used by chemicals cleverly concealed in ordinary objects and these chemicals when meet Improvised explosives causes fire or explosion. Chemicals such as Sulphuric acid, cupric chloride, nitric acid slowly eats away the metal, the breaking of metallic wire will trigger the firing mechanism. AMBIENT CONDITION The triggering mechanism is activated by environmental factors such as gas, smoke acoustic, barometric, humidity, proximity, light, sound etc. REMOTE CONTROL Normal remote-control bombs are activated by transmission of electromagnetic waves.

Velocity of Detonation of TNT -25,000 KMPH. b) Fragmentation Speed of fragments may be up to 6000 KMPH. c) Thermal High Temperature of 3000 – 4000° C. d) Translation Bodies are lifted 30 to 60 feet above ground level and thrown 100 mts. away. e) Concussion In the air a vacuum or suction effect is created behind the moving blast wave. f) Earth and water shock Damage takes place miles away. g) Secondary effects Fire, damage to building, vehicles etc. It is estimated that 50 PSI of pressure cause eardrum to rupture and 250 PSI of pressure applied on lungs of a human being, can cause his death. The high pressure of 40 lakh pounds per square inch (PSI) and high velocity of atmosphere moving at thousands of KMPH will cause death to anyone situated in the blast zone. Therefore, we find many people are killed beyond recognition at the point of detonation. Places of Concealment of Explosives On the person In cabin baggage In hold baggage In Cargo or Mail In vehicles Methods of Concealment Ways of concealment can be either Disguised, Dismantled & Camouflaged Explosives in Shaving Cream Tubes Liquid Explosives in Whisky or Wines Bottles Explosives in Birthday Cake Blasting Gelatin Embedded in Chocolate TNT Cast in Toy Shapes, Doll Head, animals, Wall Painting.

No part of this document may be disclosed to a person without a “need to know” as defined in NCASP.  Sensitive Aviation Security Information Examples: Dry Ice Engines and vehicles Billions of lithium batteries are shipped each year; therefore, new class 9 label has been developed for lithium batteries. Some battery chemistries have explosive properties (e.g. Thionyl chloride). Numerous incidents have occurred, including two fatal cargo accidents, as a result of fire where lithium batteries were involved. Although it is impossible to determine if lithium batteries started the fires, we do know that a fire involving significant quantities of lithium batteries exceeds capability of aircraft fire suppression system. Dangerous Goods Labels Each class of dangerous goods is identified by specific labels as established in the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (Doc 9284).
