Behavior Observation Techniques and Passenger Screening
The Observation of Behavior and the Techniques necessary to analyze Behavior during the Passenger Screening Process at airports, Cruise ship, and public transportation terminals require specialized training that can discern between the nervous but innocent traveler, and the subject that is trying to gain illegal access, the one that is attempting to bypass a restricted item through security, or the one that is travelling with altered documents.
Behavior Observation Techniques for officers responsible for Airport Security, Port Security, Bus and Rail Security requires an understanding of Human Behavior in a Transportation Terminal Setting, the ability to select passengers out of a line in the screening process based on Deceptive Behavior, known as “Behavior Profiling,” and an understanding of the current rules and regulations that guide the security of the transportation system.
Transportation Security and Behavior Observation Techniques
Understanding and knowing how a perpetrator behaves in a bus, train, sea port, or airport terminal is the first step towards passenger security screening. When we consider that 99% of the traveling public is not involved in an illegal activity that requires action on the part of the officer, Security Interviewing Techniques play a crucial role on How “Deceptive Behavior” or “Tell Tale Indicators” are recognized, identified, and communicated across all groups responsible for the security Screening of the passengers. “Behavior Profiling” defines the ground work for Behavior Observation Techniques. This process requires a common terminology between the Airline Security, Airport Security, Port Security, Ground Security, Transportation Security, and Law Enforcement. This concept has slowly gained the acceptance and inclusion into the regulations and codes that guide Transportation Security.
Behavior Observation Techniques require a common language based on “Deceptive Behavior” for all stake holders in Transportation Security Screening, taking in consideration communication among Law Enforcement and non Law Enforcement groups. Behavior Observation Techniques in a Ground, Port, and Airport Terminal Setting can improve screening of Passengers at Security checkpoints, and expedite Passenger Screening. Ultimately, it is the constant adaptation of the Transportation Security codes and regulations to include and recognize the application of Behavior Observation Techniques in Transportation Security.

Deceptive Behavior and Transportation Security
OBSERVATIONAL TECHNIQUES AND BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS
The Wall Street Journal stated in an article (08/15/02) “Silent Signals” Security Concerns Brings New Focus on Body Language.
“Body Language used to be something teenagers paid attention on first dates. But since 9/11, the science of spotting and sorting out nervous but innocent behavior from deceptive and threatening behavior is gaining newfound respect among law-enforcement officials particularly as a way to prevent terrorism.”
Effective Training Has Never Been More Vitally Important Since 9/11!
Behavior Analysis and Observational Techniques is an intensive program geared to the detection and interception of “deceptive behavior,” be it a drug smuggler, terrorist, or other criminals. Designed specifically for the Transportation Industry, including Aviation, Maritime, and Mass Transit ground systems, and applied on terminal and vessel settings.
The course draws on the participant’s personal experience, presents the theory behind the behavior, real life case studies, role-playing, airport and seaport practical exercises, methods of concealment, field interviewing, and interrogation techniques. Participants benefit from practical, usable techniques tailored to their work environment, and within the scope of their responsibilities.
This training deals head-on with issues that could hinder the detection process, such as “Racial Profiling”, and agencies past practices, narrowing the gap to “deceptive behavior” that can be observed, recognized, and verbalized in the carrying out of their duties, or while testifying in court. Allow your department to benefit from our specialized training.
Two versions are available, one for Law Enforcement and Government Authorities, and the other for Non Law Enforcement Agencies that share security responsibilities within the Transportation Industry.

Behavior Analysis Techniques
The Observation of Behavior and the Techniques necessary to analyze the Behavior displayed by an alleged perpetrator or suspect is the key to effective Law Enforcement, and is crucial for Passenger Screening and Passenger Security. The ability to recognize Deceptive Behavior not only during the interview process, where an officer can focus on the subject, where he/she knows the facts surrounding the case, but on the field as the officer comes in contact with the general public and is not in a controlled environment, requires a whole new set of skills.
Behavior Analysis Techniques for officers responsible for Airport Security, Port Security, Bus and Rail Security requires an understanding of Human Behavior in a Terminal Setting, the ability to select passengers based on Deceptive Behavior, known as “Behavior Profiling,” and an understanding of the current rules and regulations that guide the security of the transportation system.
Behavior Analysis Techniques and Transportation Security
Knowing and understanding how the perpetrator behaves in a bus, train, sea port, or airport terminal is the first step towards passenger security. When we consider that 99% of the traveling public is not involved in an illegal activity that requires action on the part of the officer, Interviewing and Interrogation Techniques are wasted and create friction and frustration on both the officers and the traveling public, when they are more useful later in the security process.
How “Deceptive Behavior” is recognized, identified, and communicated across all groups responsible for the security of the passenger gives ”Behavior Profiling” a new meaning and defines the ground work for Behavior Analysis Techniques. This process requires a common terminology between the Airline Security, Airport Security, Port Security, Ground Security, Transportation Security, and Law Enforcement. This concept has slowly gained the acceptance and inclusion into the regulations and codes that guide Transportation Security.

Ship Security Alert System (SSAS)
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) with the implementation of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) which is a comprehensive set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities, developed in response to the perceived threats to ships and port facilities as acts of piracy and terrorist attacks have increased and over the years.
The ISPS Code is implemented through chapter XI-2 Special measures to enhance maritime security, and to improve security for ships in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). The new SOLAS resolution 6 states that the Ship Security Alert System shall provide ships with two alarm buttons, which can be activated in case of a piracy or terrorist attack. The alarm is a covert signal, which will have no sound and no flashing lights so that it is in no way obvious to any intruders on board the ship. This Ship Security Alert System are now installed on Passenger ships, including high-speed passenger crafts, Oil tankers, chemical tankers, gas carriers, bulk carriers and high-speed cargo vessels of 500 gross tonnage and upwards.
* ISPS CODE, 2003 Edition, International Maritime Organization, ISBN 92-801-5149-5
Most of the questions we receive on Ship Security Alert Systems (SSAS) are normally on the process of testing, false alarms, and notification to the Administration. The following links should answer some of the basic questions on the Ship Security Alert Systems (SSAS). But please feel free to contact us with your questions.

Sea Port Terminal Security Administration and Training
Seaports, Cruise ships, Cruise Lines and the Cruise Industry in general have always been relatively secure, and have adhered to strict security guidelines and practices set by the International Government Agencies such as those outlined by the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS), and the U.S. Coast Guard’s “Security for Passenger Vessels and Passenger Terminals” regulations.
However, as Seaports, Cruise lines and Government Agencies around the world have adapted precautions, policies, tactics, and new Anti-Terrorism measures to tighten and refine security procedures after recent events, it is evident that more attention is needed on the Human Element of Sea Port security, on the implementation of these procedures, and on the overall structure of this mode of travel.
The need to combine Security Training, with Customer Service, Conflict resolution, and Emergency Response Training have never more evident, and Behavior Analysis and Observational Techniques continue to prove that efficient and secure passenger processing is an attainable goal for this growing segment of the Transportation Industry.
