“ continuing to implement technologies as
the best decision-support tools for human
judgement and intervention will allow for more
effective use of human resources”
Various technologies may improve secu-
rity processes on the aircraft: video analysis
could monitor passenger movement in the
plane and provide views to pilots, who are
locked behind hardened cockpit doors.
Biometrics could be used to verify that a
person is permitted to control the aircraft in
flight or to open certain doors.
Security Culture and Governance
Protection of individual rights and privacy
remains a key challenge for implementing
security measures, which should respond
to the principles of open public communica-
tion and education, measures to ensure
data security, and consideration of voluntary
participation.
The success of the aviation-security
system also depends on the raising of
security awareness in the travelling public,
the service provider and the government’s
monitoring organisation – a security culture
that permeates every routine of the screen-
ing process and every level of aviation
operations.
That includes the top levels: good gov-
ernance – including cost-effective opera-
tion, transparency, sound management
practices and quality-assurance measures
– is critical, not only to the success of the
aviation-security system, but also to public
confidence.
And to achieve the accountability that
the public demands, implementation of a
robust, flexible and scalable aviation-secu-
rity system should respond to established
performance standards and an intelligent
assessment of potential threats and risks
– rather than to the availability of equip-
ment. Accordingly, system requirements
should address the effectiveness of threat
detection and risk management.
Finally, the regulatory function – the
establishment, monitoring and enforcement
