Joint Position Paper IFALPA-IFATCA-IATA: Positive Security Culture
A new joint position from IFALPA, IFATCA, and IATA - The establishment of a positive security culture is a key component of aviation security.

In other cases, however, physical screening can be complemented by other measures or applied randomly for reasons of deterrence.
