Aviation and Airport Security

USAF Lieutenant Colonel Kathleen Sweet’s seminal resource is considered the definitive handbook on the terrorist threat to commercial airline and airport security. Presenting an analysis of modern day risks, it covers the history of aviation security and compares current in-flight security practices with those of other countries. The book reviews Transportation Security Administration changes in security, policy, and training since 9/11 and discusses several aviation terrorist incidents. It also examines how security considerations are factored into business processes and offers extensive background information on various terrorist groups.
