What is AIRPORT
SECURITY?
Airport security refers to the techniques
and methods used in protecting
passengers, staff and planes which use
the airport from accidental/malicious
harm, crime and other threats.
Airport security attempts to prevent
any threats or potentially dangerous
situations from arising or entering the
country.
To protect the airport and country from
any threatening events, to reassure the
traveling public that they are safe and
to protect the country and their people.
Monte R. Belger of the U.S.
Federal Aviation
Administration notes
"The goal of aviation security is to prevent harm
to aircraft, passengers, and crew, as well as
support national security and counter-terrorism
policy."
Explosive detection machines used
include X-ray machines and explosives
trace-detection portal machines (a.k.a.
"puffer machines").
Transport Security Administration (TSA)
In the United States, the
TSA is working on new
scanning machines that are
still effective searching for
objects that aren't allowed
in the airplanes but that
don't depict the passengers
in a state of undress that some
find embarrassing.
The TSA has multiple
screening processes
and regulations
related to
passengers and
carry-on luggage.
Security
Checkpoints
● Social Distancing ● Reduced Physical Contact ● Personal Protective Equipment ● Cleaning and Disinfecting
● Medical Exemption for Hand Sanitizer ● Touchless Technology ● Expired Driver’s License and REAL ID Extension
On the international level, ICAO Annex 17 to the
Convention on International Civil Aviation
incorporates all amendments adopted by the
council. It provides recommended practices in
emergency situations to airports states should
consider and adopt in their national standards for
airport security. In the United States, TSA
standards and regulations are strictly complied
with by all airports.
Aviation Security Manual (Doc 8973 – Restricted)
The ICAO Aviation Security Manual (Doc 8973 –
Restricted) assists Member States in
implementing Annex 17 to the Chicago
Convention by providing guidance on how to
apply its Standards and Recommended Practices
(SARPs).
Reporting of Acts of Unlawful Interference
The reporting of acts of unlawful interference with
civil aviation provides ICAO with data that is
critical to evaluating and analysing security
incidents and trends. ICAO Member States are
required by Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention
to report to ICAO as soon as possible after an
incident has been resolved.
