Specifically, current definitions and limitations in the area of profiling make it impossible to implement the types of policies and precautions such as those that have proven successful in Israel. According to acknowledged U.S. (Larsen, 2007) and international experts (Hoffman, 2003) in aviation security, the entire approach of screening passengers (1) randomly and (2) only after they set foot onto airport property is not an effective way of preventing terrorism against aviation. By contrast, in Israel, Mossad agents have the authority to question any passenger scheduled for departure on El-Al, Israel's national airline that was once the world's most targeted airline for terrorists (Hoffman, 2003).
Their agents are trained to recognize behavioral cues consistent with possible criminal intent. Vehicles approaching Israeli airports are screened long before they reach airport; Mossad agents conduct preliminary investigations immediately after passengers book flights; and civil rights are not so broad as to limit the authority of the state to conduct reasonable informal interviews pursuant to the trained perceptions...
Unfortunately, in the U.S., vehicles are not screened before they enter airport property, and any implementation of secondary security screening must, by law, be the product of random selection. Virtually all security enhancement efforts in U.S. airports rely on the methodology of identifying terrorist tools rather than terrorists. Ultimately, it is unlikely that even the most sophisticated equipment for that approach will enable U.S. authorities to achieve their mission (Larsen, 2007).

Like the airline industry, it seems as if the airport industry is moving towards consolidation and more airport cooperation and alliances seem likely in the future. (Graham, 2003) One approach in which civil aviation can contribute in ensuring peace amid the countries of the world is principally through its key role of facilitating communication and international discourse. The ICAO -- International Civil Aviation Organization has played a large part in
Thirdly, it will be a challenge in ensuring that there is coordination and cooperation from all the stakeholders. Hecter explains that achieving the much-needed cooperation is not easy as anticipated by many. There are many conflicts of interests deterring from working towards a common objective. There is no port in the United States that is similar to another in all regards. However, most of them have similarities that make them
