Insights from David Alexander ICAO AVSEC Pm and General Manager: AVSEC at Professional Aviation Security on current aviation security challenges including recent airport attacks and providing some possible practical solutions
This is from a webinar presented by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide called “General Aviation Security.” The presenter is Dr. Daniel Benny.
Security has been a big issue for civil aviation for decades. Airports and aircrafts are susceptible targets for terrorist attacks. The list of incidents is extensive and gets longer every year despite strict security measures.
Aviation has become the backbone of our global economy bringing people to business, tourists to vacation destinations and products to markets.
Statistically flying remains the safest mode of travelling compared to other modes of transportation. Yet significant threat continues to exist. Terrorists and criminals continue in their quest to explore new ways of disrupting air transportation and the challenge to secure airports and airline assets remain real. This calls for greater awareness of security concerns in the aviation sector.
“Protecting this system demands a high level of vigilance because a single lapse in aviation security can result in hundreds of deaths, destroy equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and have immeasurable negative impacts on the economy and the public’s confidence in air travel.”
—Gerald L. Dillingham, United States General Accounting Office, in testimony before the Subcommittee on Aviation, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, U.S. Senate, April 6, 2000.

A revolution in the air: Ian Dawkins, CEO, OnAir SITA
On-board connectivity continues apace, as the new ‘in-flight must-have’ for both passengers and crew. As it becomes the default expectation for next generation travelers, tablets and mobile devices in the air will impact passenger service levels and customer satisfaction as much as they are on the ground. From an operational point of view, what are the IT needs for the cabin, cockpit and data handling to ground? What innovations can we expect, and how do we see the development of new services for keeping customers happy and loyal?

Compacte Warmteopslag
In de Icoonwoning te Heerhugowaard is met succes de eerste demonstrator van Compacte Warmteopslag getest. Deze door TNO ontworpen installatie geeft het principe aan dat het op het ene moment het overschot aan zonnewarmte opgeslagen kan worden in een mineraal. En op een ander moment komt deze warmte weer beschikbaar voor het verwarmen van de woning en de bereiding van tapwater. Deze revolutionaire vorm van energieopslag heeft het in zich om de cv-ketel en de warmtepomp (deels) overbodig te maken. Tijdens deze bijeenkomst wordt u geïnformeerd over de resultaten van de testperiode en over de volgende stappen voor de marktintroductie van deze veel belovende techniek.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

passengers in ways that take advantage of high-
tech sensors, cameras and facial recognition
software that may help police stop assailants
before they kill.”

45. Profiling
• Essential tool despite bad press and
resistance
• Stopped many attacks
• The attackers in Istanbul had on winter coats
despite it being summer……….
47. See something, say something
To report suspicious activity, contact
your local law enforcement agency.
Describe specifically what you
observed, including:
• Who or what you saw;
• When you saw it;
• Where it occurred; and
• Why it's suspicious.
If there is an emergency,
call 9–1–1.

48. Random and unpredictable
“TSA officers may use risk-based security
measures to identify, mitigate and resolve
potential threats at the airport security
checkpoint. These officers may ask you
questions about your travel to include identity,
travel itinerary and property. TSA may use a
variety of screening processes, including
random screening, regardless of whether an
alarm is triggered. In addition, TSA uses
unpredictable security measures throughout
the airport and no individual is guaranteed
expedited screening.”
https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening
49. CCTV
• Advanced observation
• Track movement of persons
• High image quality and image manipulation
• Very valuable security tool
50. Training
• Training is critical
• Train EVERYBODY!
• Aviation Security Awareness
• Why is awareness important?
• What must we be aware of?
• What does awareness mean? (How is it
done?)
• What do I do if I see something?
• Who do I report it to?
51. Don’t train because you
must……..
• Train because it is the most effective way to create maximum
“eyes” on security and possible threats
• Train everybody, all can contribute to security
• Train for your circumstances, include practical exercises
52. Conclusions
• Threats and attack methods evolve all the time
• Technology is evolving to meet current (and
yesterday’s) threat
• Intelligence is key
• Human measures (profiling, recruiting, training)
are the most effective detection method
• Motivated, trained, aware personnel are the best
deterrent

Editor's Notes
After the 9/11 attacks the focus was placed on preventing the introduction of threats (devices, people, objects) that could be used to commit and act against the aircraft
Emphasis on screening of passengers and cargo
Profiling of passengers not on religious or ethnic grounds but on who could present a threat (behaviour, clothing, appearance)
Sharing of intelligence on possible threats
Airport attacks targeting pre security “soft” areas
Police identified the two men as Bilal Abdullah, a British-born, Muslim doctor of Iraqi descent working at the Royal Alexandra Hospital,[10][11] and Kafeel Ahmed, also known as Khalid Ahmed, an engineer and the driver, who was treated for fatal burns at the same hospital.[12] The newspaper, The Australian, alleges that a suicide note indicated that the two had intended to die in the attack.[13] Kafeel Ahmed died from his injuries on 2 August.[14] Bilal Abdullah was later found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 32 years.
The explosion affected the baggage-claim area of the airport's international arrivals hall.[1] Some reports have suggested that the explosion was the work of a suicide bomber, with investigators saying the explosion was caused by an "improvised device packed with shrapnel, pieces of chopped wire" and the equivalent to between two and five kilograms of TNT.[7][8] Russia's chief investigator has stated the explosion was the work of terrorists.[4] Investigators found a male head and believed it might have been that of the suicide bomber.[8][9]
the attackers were foreigners of Uzbek origin who belonged to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), an Al Qaeda-linked militant organisation that works closely with TTP.[3][4] The TTP later confirmed that the attack was a joint operation they executed with the IMU, who independently admitted to having supplied personnel for the attack.
The attack began at 11:10 PM on 8 June and lasted until the morning around 4:00 AM of 9 June.[16] Ten attackers divided in 2 groups, stormed at two different checkpoint and attacked the cargo terminal of the airport with [17] automatic weapons, hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades, and other explosives. The attackers were dressed as security guards, with some also wearing suicide vests. They were wearing uniforms of the Airports Security Force (ASF).[2] A senior Pakistani intelligence official said some of the militants tried to hijack a plane, but were unsuccessful.[18]
Airports Security Force troops fought bravely, limited the terrorists attack and started taking them out one by one. Within 2 hours, eight of the ten militants were shot dead by the Airports Security Force troops and the remaining two blew themselves up when they were cornered. About 90 minutes after the attack began, hundreds of Rangers, Police and Army troops arrived on the scene but the majority of terrorists had already been eliminated by Airports Security Force.[19][20] The siege officially ended after five hours; 28 people, including the ten terrorists, 12 ASF personnel, one Pakistan Rangers officials, a Sindh Police official, and four PIA employees (including two senior aircraft engineers)[14] were killed in the incident.[13] At least 18 security personnel were also injured in the attack and admitted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.[16] Seven bodies that were burnt beyond recognition were also recovered from the airport's cold storage facility after a 28-hour rescue operation.[21]
wo suicide bombers, carrying explosives in large suitcases, attacked a departure hall at Brussels Airport in Zaventem. The first explosion occurred at 7:58 a.m. in check-in row 11; the second explosion occurred about nine seconds later in check-in row 2. The suicide bombers were visible in CCTV footage.[37] Some witnesses said that before the first explosion occurred, shots were fired and there were yells in Arabic. However, authorities have stated afterwards that no shots were fired.[38][39][40][citation needed]
Belgium is a participant in the ongoing military intervention against ISIL, during the Iraqi Civil War.[11] On 5 October 2014, a Belgian F-16 dropped its first bomb on an ISIL target, east of Baghdad.[12] On 12 November 2015, Iraq warned members of the coalition that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIL, had ordered retaliatory attacks on countries involved in the coalition against ISIL.[13]
Belgium has more nationals fighting for jihadist forces as a proportion of its population than any other Western European country, with an estimated 440 Belgians having left for Syria and Iraq as of January 2015.[14][15] Due to Belgium's weak security apparatus and competing intelligence agencies, it has become a hub of jihadist-recruiting and terrorist activity
Refugee child
Shortly before 22:00 Istanbul time, two assailants approached the x-ray scanner at a security checkpoint, and opened fire.[10] Police officers then returned fire. The assailants then detonated bombs on their persons.[11][12]
Based on a security camera video, one of the bombers was about 80 feet (24 m) inside Terminal 2 (the International terminal) when he detonated his suicide bomb.[13] In the CCTV video the explosion can be seen within or near a group of people.[13] It is also believed that one of the explosions was in the parking lot across the street of the terminal.[14]
A closed-circuit video of the incident showed an armed assailant walking and firing at people within the terminal. The gunman was then shot by a security officer and fell to the ground, with the security officer approaching to investigate. The officer then ran away, presumably having noticed the gunman's explosive belt. The suicide belt then detonated.[15]
During and immediately after the attacks, hundreds of passengers and people inside the airport hid anywhere they could in shops, washrooms, and under benches.[16]
Two of the attackers detonated explosive devices, killing themselves; one was killed, presumably by security forces.[16]
There were three perpetrators who detonated their explosives in or near the terminal. However, there were reports and witnesses stating that there were four armed men running away from the blasts; this has not yet been confirmed by police personnel. A US intelligence source told CBS News that the coordinated attacks lasted only about 90 seconds.[17]
Many travelers described what they saw during the attack to reporters. One man stated, "We came right to international departures and saw the man randomly shooting. He was just firing at anyone coming in front of him. He was wearing all black. His face was not masked. I was 50 meters away from him."[18] He continued, "We ducked behind a ticket counter but I stood up and watched him. Two explosions went off shortly after one another. By that time he had stopped shooting."[18] Lastly he said "He turned around and started coming towards us. He was holding his gun inside his jacket. He looked around anxiously to see if anyone was going to stop him and then went down the escalator ... We heard some more gunfire and then another explosion, and then it was over."[18]
Other people who had arrived outside the terminal said that taxicab drivers were screaming, "Don't enter! A bomb exploded!" from their windows to incoming traffic.[19]
