Abstract
Since the 1960s, civilian aviation has been a prime target for a myriad of terrorist organizations, which have engaged in asymmetrical tactics such as skyjacking, aircraft bombings, and attacks against airports. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has employed a multilayered security strategy in an attempt to secure commercial aviation. To that end, behavioral analysis, sometimes referred to as “behavioral profiling,” has become an integral layer of aviation security that monitors the behavior and mannerisms of air travelers. However, the technique is not without critics. The present article examines the current state of behavioral analysis as applied to aviation security and provides recommendations for its proper role and function within a larger security framework.
