Airline Security Training and Passenger Screening

Airline Security training has evolved since the Terrorist attacks of 9/11 and a greater emphasis has been placed on Observation Techniques, known as Behavior Profiling. Observation Techniques can spot Deceptive Behavior displayed by a Passenger during the Security Screening process, and can lead the Airline Security Officer to determine if additional screening is necessary.

Observation Techniques Training require a simple, logical, sequential, and systematic approach to learning the observation and application of Behavior in an Airline terminal setting. For officers responsible for Airline Security this means the understanding of Human Behavior in an Airline Terminal, gaining the ability to select passengers based on Deceptive Behavior indicators, and being able to verbalize their observations with greater detail and confidence. Knowing that what they observe presents a risk to the security of the airline and the aviation system.

Behavior Observation Training for Airline Security personnel

When we consider that 99% of the traveling public is not involved in an illegal activity that requires action on the part of the Airline Security Officer, it is easy to see why the public becomes frustrated with the 100% percent inspection that takes place now during the Security Screening. Airline Security remains a mechanical process and only limited steps have been taken to understand the advantages of Behavior Observation. Training and the development of new procedures will make this a viable option in Airline Security. Behavior Profiling is the first step towards passenger security in knowing and understanding how the perpetrator behaves in an Airline terminal.

Training how Deceptive Behavior is recognized, identified, and communicated across all groups responsible for Airline Security during the screening of passenger requires a common terminology between the Airline Security, Airport Security, Aviation Security, Ground Security Coordinators, and Law Enforcement. Training on Behavior Observation Techniques in an Airline Terminal Setting can improve Passenger Security, expedite Passenger Screening, and improve the customer experience when properly implemented, but ultimately, it is the training and constant adaptation of the Airline Security codes and regulations to include and recognize the application of Behavior Observation Techniques as a solution to Airline Security.
