Both Shipping & Aircraft are extremely vulnerable targets to any terrorist organisation & can very easily facilitate the “Spectacular Attack”, utilising them as large weapons or delivery vehicles.
This was demonstrated none more so than the unforgettable events of 9/11, & Pan Am Flight 103, which crashed onto the Scottish town of Lockerbie after a small Improvised Explosive Device exploded onboard. These incidents still haunt the Aviation Security Industry & forced the evolution of Security & Search forward at both Maritime & Aviation transport hubs to counter the terrorist threat.
Unless appropriate Search & Security counter measures are in place, the very nature of the shipping industry provides great opportunities for terrorist & criminal organisations to move around people & resources virtually undetected. Public transport ferries & cruise liners present themselves as viable terrorist targets & as such owners & operators are obligated to ensure that their assets & staff are protected & trained accordingly.
