Passenger Security Screening – AVSEC
3 Day Course
Dynamic and practical Training program for Officers, security checkpoint supervisors, and surveillance CCTV operators, provides the frame work in the detection of unlawful and criminal activities thru a logical, systematic and simple Passenger Screening Process. Officers make observations of Passengers in a Terminal Setting in what is normally called Behavior Profiling to identify, evaluate, and effectively communicate Deceptive Behavior Indicators (DBI) across the department or while interacting with other security or Law Enforcement agencies.
Behavior Detection Training Modules
Observation of Behavior in Passenger Screening is divided in three main modules:
- Terrorism in Aviation. Limitations of technology, threat analysis, means of aggression, current threats, developing trends, legal limitations, Aviation Security Directives, Security codes, regulations, and best practices (AVSEC & TSA).
- Behavior Profiling Dynamics for officers in a terminal setting including airport access areas, lobby, check-in counters, transit lounges, and boarding gates. Officers, security checkpoint supervisors, and surveillance CCTV operators are trained to identify Deceptive Behavior Indicators (DBI), communication dynamics, verbal and non-verbal symptoms of deception, interviewing techniques for non-law enforcement officers, question formulation, and screening passengers.
- Observation Techniques. Analyzing supportive information for profiling, including airline tickets, passports, other documentation, document forgery, intelligence gathering, interagency communication, and the application of the Rover Concept to Aviation Security.
Two versions of this course 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.

Deceptive Behavior and Airport Security
OBSERVATIONAL TECHNIQUES ROLE IN AVIATION SECURITY
Body Language, facial expressions, and basic communication are just some of the observations needed by a skilled Aviation, Airline or Airport Security Officer to determine if the person in front of them is attempting to bypass the security process, smuggle something onboard an aircraft, or is travelling with false documents. Since 9/11, the science of detecting and sorting out behavior, from the nervous but innocent to the deceptive and threatening behavior has gained respect among law-enforcement officials and Airport Security Agencies particularly as a way to prevent terrorism.
Behavior Observation in an Airport Terminal Setting
The Observation of Behavior during the Passenger Security Screening Process requires a structured program geared to the detection and interception of “deceptive behavior,” that works as well on a drug smuggler, a terrorist, or other criminals that utilize the Aviation system. This system needs to be simple, logical and methodical. It needs to avoid “Racial Profiling”, and focus on “deceptive behavior” or Tell Tale signs and indicators that can be observed, recognized, and verbalized in the carrying out of their Airport security duties.
The following versions are available, one for Law Enforcement and Government Authorities, and the other for Non Law Enforcement Agencies that share security responsibilities within the Aviation Industry.

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.

Improving Border Security
Cayman Islands Government – 30 November 2007
Border security in the Cayman Islands has been strengthened with the training of 23 officers in the use of observational techniques and behavioural analysis. A group of 18 immigration officers, three members of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, and two officers from HM Prisons Northward have been trained in the science of utilising observational techniques and behavioural analysis to identify passengers who could pose potential security risk at the island’s port of entries.
Chief Immigration Officer Franz Manderson said that such training is relevant in a time of heightened security globally. He said that in today’s environment officers had to be routinely prepared to respond to potential threats to border security whether at the Islands’ airports or at the seaports. The training is effective in “streamlining passenger inspection flow by identifying with increased speed and accuracy that minute percentage of individuals who may require closer scrutiny, detection and apprehension.”

Airport Security training at Tocumen
by Tomás García A.
The Panama News – July 2, 2005
On June 17 Tocumen Airport witnessed the closing ceremony and distribution of certificates for the successful completion of a seminar entitled “Basic Observation Techniques and Behavior Analysis” by members of various entities involving airport security, including the Security Department, Customs, Immigration and several airline companies.
The seminar, which had been taking place since May 16, involved the training in detection and identification of behavioral profiles common among terrorists, drug traffickers, smugglers and other international lawbreakers. This identification is done solely through the observation of individuals, in particular searching for hints of deception in their physiological and psychological responses to external stimuli such as the regular questioning done in the Immigration area. “It’s common sense, but the idea of detecting drug traffickers through such a method is a breakthrough,” said Khadhir Tuñon. “I feel a great satisfaction after understanding how to use these observation techniques in an organized and methodical way.”
The seminar was sponsored by Tocumen SA Panama, with the collaboration of the Narcotics Affairs Section at the US Embassy in Panama and the US Department of Homeland Security. The final ceremony consisted of an initial discourse by Doug Dupre, Homeland Security attache at the US Embassy, a speech by the Tocumen SA’s CEO Carlos Garcia Molino and the final presentation of certificates to the last of four groups that have taken the courses throughout the four weeks.
