Means of Inter-Intra Agency Cooperation Increase
Aviation Operational Threat Response Plan recommends systematized and all-inclusive protocols for guaranteeing a well-organized and successful governmental response to threats from airborne sources against the country and its welfare. The Aviation Transportation System Recovery Plan outlines a set of strategies for mitigating the economic and operational impacts of an aerial attack, in addition to measures, which will allow the Aviation Transport System, as well as other concerned private sector and governmental aviation-connected groups, to rapidly recover from these kinds of attacks (Aviation Transportation System Security Plan, 2007). Efforts for further reducing susceptibilities in each critical system area are maintained, increased, and improved by the Aviation Transportation System Security Plan. The Plan guides forceful efforts for: (1) ensuring that all individuals entering or availing themselves of the Aviation Transport System are identified and screened or vetted; (2) ensuring the U.S. Government takes every possible measure to notice and stop weapon use against Air Domain elements, or use of Aviation Transport System for transporting weapons, being used as a weapon, or serving as a medium to disperse weapons, such as Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE), including explosives in liquid form; and (3) reinforcing key infrastructural components of Aviation Transport System against any other form of attack, like stand-off weaponry and...
from other nations now need to get electronic devices (e.g., cellphones) to pass additional security checks prior to boarding planes, under the most recent policy of the Transport Security Administration (TSA), for safeguarding against the danger of a novel form of terrorist attack. It has been claimed by the TSA that only specific foreign airports are required to perform these added inspections (U.S. increases security at foreign airports, with focus on cellphone, other electronic devices, 2014). One more aspect is that electronic devices that do not power up will be permitted on-board and their owners may be subject to further scrutiny prior to boarding. The agency has stated in an announcement that travelers are aware that every electronic device undergoes screening by security officials.
The enhanced security at airports is almost definitely in response to fresh intelligence reports indicating that Syrian terrorists with Al Qaeda links are working together with Al Qaeda members in Arabia on a plan for blowing up a commercial airplane heading for Europe or the U.S., according to a report by ABC News. Westerners, including U.S. citizens, have flown to Syria in the last12 months for joining the Al Nusra Front in its attempt to overthrow the government of Syria. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, ordered additional security measures to be established at a few foreign airports that have direct U.S. flights, on the basis of intelligence, suggesting fresh efforts by the Al Qaeda to develop an explosive that airport security can't detect. Johnson stated that he and his colleagues in the U.S.…
Aviation Security Keeping passengers safe on their flights involves more than just making sure the aircraft in use is fully functional and operationally fit. Aviation security involves keeping dangerous people from becoming passengers, and that entails security checks during the boarding process, and more. This paper points to the steps that government officials and airline management must take to ensure the safety and security of private and commercial air travel. National Strategy
Post 9/11 Security Despite the working group presented above, post 9/11 security entails measures that must be carried out in a dedicated, complex manner in order to be efficient, even if they, in turn, have a negative impact on airport efficiency. Without a doubt, these measures that provoke so much annoyance have a positive impact on the security of airports and the sky. Post 9/11 security comes with much pain, but
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
With the threat of terrorism remaining so strong in this country it is vital to find new and better ways to protect people and to keep them safe from harm as much as is humanly and technologically possible. Scope of the Study The scope of this particular study is very broad and far-reaching, because there are so many people who are being affected by it now and will be affected by
' 'The International Outreach Plan' provides a comprehensive framework to solicit international support for an improved global aviation security network. All these specially suggested plans addresses the need of different aspects of aviation security, yet, these security plans support and complement each other and that is why all have been properly integrated with the designing plan of the airport (Transportation Security Administration, 2010). The designed plan for the airport includes all aspects of
Aviation Safety Aviation Security "As the first flights began again on September 15, some crews refused to fly, not confident of airport security. Those who steeled themselves to work entered a strange new workplace. With no guidance from the airlines or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on how to handle potential future hijackings, flight attendants inventoried galleys for objects they could use as defensive weapons. Shell-shocked passengers sometimes hugged flight attendants as
