The terrorism threat against aviation industry is increasing after 9/11 incidents. As the way of preventing the future threat, this study is to review current status and make practical suggestions on Incheon International Airport security screening. The Library research method is utilized for this study. Chapter 1 is an introduction part and describes the general instruction. Chapter 2 describes the importance of aviation security and cases of aviation terrorism. Screening history is described in chapter 3 detailing operations and equipment. Status of IIAC(Incheon International Airport Corporation) security screening and prevention measures are described in chapter 4 and chapter 5 describes the final conclusion. In conclusion, if the introduction of state-of-the-art security equipment and modification of inadequate regulations come in first, whatever the threat exists, aviation terrorism can be prevented with the positive prevention efforts.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has set up the Global Aviation Security Plan (GASeP), which urges member states to transition to more advanced security systems. This paper examines advanced aviation security policies and technologies at both domestic and international levels, and also investigates the underlying reasons for the challenges faced in establishing an advanced security system in the Republic of Korea. Based on this analysis, we propose effective strategies for deploying advanced security equipment at domestic airports, taking into consideration their respective classifications. Additionally, we identify the need for establishing new technological standards to introduce an advanced aviation security system, and provide evaluation criteria for the maintenance and management of technology to ensure the smooth operation of advanced security equipment.

Purpose: This study suggests how to upgrade performance certification technology. Current performance certification of aviation security equipment and the requirements thereof were analyzed. Methods: The performance certification of aviation security equipment worldwide and identified issues with the domestic certification system were compared. The government must upgrade certification in terms of technical standards, the assessment methodology used, and the operating system. Results: Three principal conclusions were drawn. First, certification requirements must be based on a review of the technical literature and real-world experience. Second, development priorities must be set by reference to assessment techniques. Third, both research on the certification system and improvements thereof are essential. Conclusion: Certification of aviation security equipment performance requires gradual upgrading.

The detection sensitivity of a Walk Through Metal Detector (WTMD) currently being developed and operated in Korea differs from one manufacturer to another, making it difficult for them to be used based on Aviation Security level. In addition, the FAA 3-GUN Test approved by the domestic aviation authority for aviation security supervision is a single test object. There is no Operational Test Piece (OTP) consisting of multiple test objects for the operation of aviation security for a WTMD. This paper, the detection sensitivity of a WTMD applied by a commercial OTP was measured and detection sensitivity standards for a WTMD were developed based on results of measurement. Furthermore, institutional plans to maintain the same detection sensitivity for domestic aviation security were made through suggestions for Korean standards OTP development methods, taking characteristics of the aviation field into consideration.

Purpose: This study was performed for advancement of aviation security equipments certification system. Methods: We investigated aviation security equipments certification-related registrations and the latest research trends of explosive detection technologies. Based on the literature studies, we draw the critical issues of the aviation security equipment certification system and suggested improvement direction. Results: We found some inaccuracies of the definition of explosive trace detection equipments, accreditation review committee, and performance evaluation test method. These problems should be modified to suit being practical. Conclusion: The present results would be useful for basic data for modifying aviation security equipments certification systems.

Purpose: This study proposes methods and procedures for evaluating imaging security systems quality of cabinet x-ray screening system to enhance performance certification technology. Also, conducted a comparative analysis of the literature of test-kit for imaging security quality evaluation. Methods: Comparative analysis of the test-kits and related documents for image quality assessment of cabinet x-ray screening equipment. This allows assessment items were selected and the methods for each assessment item were proposed. In addition, the configuration method of the assessment team was established by applying the technology readiness assessment(TRA). Results: Four of the assessment items were selected when estimate image quality by a comparative analysis of literature. For each assessment item, the evaluation method and minimum level of availability were determined. Finally, this paper proposes an imaging quality assessment of cabinet X-ray imaging security systems. Conclusion: Development of imaging security systems evaluation procedures for cabinet X-ray screening systems can be help improve performance certification of aviation security equipment.

As witnessed in September 11 attacks, air terrorism is often the most effective means to achieve their goals, and thereby requires a sophisticated level of security measures. Moreover, considering the nature of air transportation, the prevention of air terrorism demands a wide range of international cooperation and joint efforts such as timely sharing of information related to air terrorism (such as latest terror techniques and list of terrorists) between nations, International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) As most air terrorism can be effectively prevented through security and search activities in airports, this study has focused on researching security measures and issues in major airports around the world, along with the potential measures to improve them. To achieve this effect, this paper offers solutions to preventing air terrorism by exploring appropriate responses to various type of air terrorism, deployment of advanced security and search equipment, techniques to identify terrorists, R&D on equipments to physically take down terrorists and systematic improvements on airport security search process.

Countries recognize seriousness and concern about aviation terrorism, try to stamp out of it but aviation terrorism has been increasing in the world. Airport security is completely up to the result of security screening for passengers, check-in baggages and cargo at the check point. To complete effectively human and physical screening at the airport, it is essential to secure modernized screening equipment and specialized security screener, and airport security supervisor to supervising them. In this study, A survey conducted to find out the effect on screening equipment operating factors of airport security supervisor's individual attitude. The results of the study are as follow First, the duty view of airport security supervisor meaningfully affect expertise of screening equipment operating factors, satisfaction, reliability, and education and training, national point of view meaningfullly doesn't affect screening equipment operating factors. Second, the working condition effects on the education and training, if the working condition is getting better, intent to change occupation is getting lower. Third, duty stress meaningfully effects on the intent to change occupation, now airport security supervisor works in poor condition. Therefore, airport security supervisor needs to be prude of protecting the airport from the terrorism and various attacks and various kinds of aviation security regulations and procedures and comply with operating standards and keep the life of the country and its people, and needs to change awareness. And It is nessasary for government or airport authority or airline to prepare countermeasure for the improvement of their labor conditions.
