An example of the effectiveness of using this protocol can be seen at the El Al cargo terminal in Bangkok, Thailand during 2003. What happened was El Al security identified, an unauthorized man taking pictures of the cargo area. Once arrested by security personnel, it was determined that he was planning on launching surface to air missiles, against the airline. ("Thwarted Attack Against El Al Flight" 2003) What this shows, is that when you have specific designated areas, you can be able to identify those people who are at the cargo terminal, to cause damage / disruptions. This is because the designated areas, will force everyone who works there and is conducting business, to go through a particular set of structures / procedures. Anyone who is not following these policies would raise security concerns. At which point, the odds increase dramatically that this person will be stopped and questioned.
A second way to increase the effectiveness of air cargo security is: to use technology to monitor for explosive materials, in goods that are being shipped. In this particular area, the airlines would use technology to look for various substances that are used in explosive devices. Where, technology can identify the distinct characteristics of the substances,...
A good example of this can be seen in Hong Kong, where employees are using hand held technology to identify for any kind of possible banned substances and instantly see the manifests surrounding a particular piece of cargo. This is significant, because the use of this technology, allows personnel to see what is suppose to be in a particular container. At which point, they can compare the contents with manifest. When you combine these two elements together, personnel are more able to effectively monitor for various contraband. In the case of Hong Kong, the use of such technology, has allowed them to increase the total pieces of cargo that are handled, while maintaining high security procedures. (Li, 2006)

Flight View, the company behind mobile applications that track real-time flight information, polled 2,600 travelers on what they want on-the-go while shopping in airports (Rogers, 2014). Market research anthropologists who track cultural trends identified extensive changes to non-aeronautical services located in airport terminals (Mattlin & Currie, 2011). Airport retail shopping has changed dramatically over the past decade, morphing into airport cities or airport town squares (Clifford, 2011). The range of
Automobiles had already been in production in several countries for at least a decade before 1914 and Henry Ford had already revolutionized industrial production methods in that industry that were immediately incorporated into the wartime production efforts on both sides of the Atlantic in connection with arms and munitions production. The rapid development of aviation technology during the war also contributed to the perception that the modern era began
