Abstract

International reform of aviation security is vital in the light of continuing vulnerability to sabotage bombing and other threats. Radical innovation and broad vision are needed to design an effective system, but it is feasible. (Many predicted that the US anti‐hijack measures introduced in 1972 would be unworkable: in fact they were highly successful.) The author argues for enhanced security coordination at national and international levels, especially in the fields of counter‐terrorism intelligence, radically enhanced explosive detection systems, airport security procedures, and security staff quality, and a major programme to help poorer countries to upgrade their airport security.
