Civil Aviation: Target for Terrorism

Author

Listed:
  • WILLIAM A. CRENSHAW

Abstract

On a global basis, few major industries have been as affected by the growing menace of terrorism as has civil aviation. This article explores the expanding role of private security in protecting the domestic air transportation system against the threat of terrorism and how that role is being performed. Concern is increasing that terrorist attacks of the type that have occurred in the Middle East and Europe may gravitate to the United States. In that event, the response would include immediate and significant requirements for additional private security personnel and equipment, possibly on a level comparable to the implementation of mandatory screening in 1973.
