Description
Practical Aviation Security is a complete guide to the aviation security system, from crucial historical events, to the policies and policy
makers and the major terrorist and criminal acts that have shaped the procedures in use today, to the tip-of-the-spear technologies that
are shaping the future.
This text enables the reader to enter airport security or other aviation management roles with the proper knowledge
to immediately implement the necessary security programs, to meet international guidelines and to responsibly protect their facility
or organization, no matter how large or small.
Using case studies and practical security measures in use at airports all over the world,
readers learn the effective methods and the fundamental principles involved in designing and implementing a security system. This text
covers commercial airport security, general aviation and cargo operations, threats and threat detection and response systems as well
as international security issues.
While not perfect, the aviation security system is comprehensive and requires continual focus and
attention to be able to stay a step ahead of the next attack. This text provides the tools necessary to prepare practitioners to enter
the industry, and if they are already in the industry to better understand it so they can prevent the next tragedy.
Audience
Airport operations specialists; airport security managers; homeland security personnel; students in aviation and homeland security programs
