Special Focus: Airport Security

One of the most important security problems after 9/11 is aviation and airport security. Several governments took a series of important and strict security measures through which they tried to deter a new 9/11. This created the challenge of striking a balance between implementing security measures to deter terrorist attacks while at the same time limiting disruption to air commerce. Therefore, new techniques and methods were created in order to protect airports and aircraft from hijackings and bomb attempts and in parallel to create the least amount of disruption to the passengers.
