Using case studies and practical security measures now in use at airports worldwide, readers learn the effective methods and fundamental principles involved in designing and implementing a security system. This expanded fourth edition covers new threats and technologies to reflect the latest knowledge in the field from the past decade.
This book will be ideal for airport, airline, charter, government, and others with aviation security responsibilities to better implement their security programs, evaluate the ever-changing risk environment, and respond appropriately and responsibly.
- Applies real-world aviation experience to the task of anticipating and deflecting threats
- Covers commercial airport security, general aviation and cargo operations, threats, threat detection and response systems, as well as international security issues
- Offers new tactics and strategies based on peer-reviewed academic and industry research for aviation security practitioners to implement, to prevent, deter or mitigate attacks on the system
- New to the fourth edition: an update to the technologies and recent changes at the screening checkpoint and other passenger touch points with aviation security; a new chapter on Conventional Threats (including an expanded section on domestic violence extremism); a new chapter on Asymmetrical Threats (cyber, unmanned aerial vehicle, urban air mobility, spaceport operations); a new section on countermeasures in security operations
Students in aviation and Homeland Security programs, airport operations specialists, airport security managers, homeland security personnel, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and those with responsibilities in the areas of airline, airport and general aviation security, including charter and private operator security programs
