Behavior Pattern Recognition and Aviation Security

Abstract New and evolving threats to aviation security require innovative and proactive solutions. Boston's Logan International Airport is adopting new methods to screen passengers based on techniques developed in Israel over the past 30 years. Behavior pattern recognition is a form of profiling passengers based not on race or religion but on suspicious and deceitful behavior. This technique is being used in addition to other aviation security measures in an attempt to form a more proactive approach to preventing future terrorist attacks at American airports.
