Airline security
Airline security refers to procedures as well as infrastructure designed to avoid security problems aboard aircraft. A related area is airport security.In most countries, security for air travel has been entirely based in airports. An exception has been security measures aboard aircraft of the Israeli El Al airline which include undercover armed security guards, as well as secure cargo holds.
The suggestion of increasing security aboard aircraft arose after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. A controversial decision in the United States has been to allow pilots to carry handguns for personal safety. As well as proposals to strengthen airport security, United States Congress spent $250 million to reinforce the cockpit doors on commercial aircraft. However, in some aircraft, these cockpit doors remain open due to restricted ventilation in the cockpit.
