Aviation security measures ‘confusing’: RUSI

August 16-31, 2011

A report of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) has underlined the importance of harmonised and rigorously enforced baseline standards on international aviation security to be implemented by various governments.

As per a RUSI report, the present government-led efforts to counter the aviation security threat are confusing and incompatible with one another, leading to loopholes which terrorists actively try to exploit. The report mentions that information and intelligencesharing lacks cohesion and adequate dissemination, often relying on bilateral relationships rather than standardised agreements.

Dr Tobias Feakin, Head of RUSI’s National Security and Resilience programme, said that while the international nature of civil aviation requires concerted action across the board, certain measures, such as the testing, evaluation and secure deployment of new screening technologies will need to be EU- and US-led.
