Narcotics Interdiction & Passenger Security Risk Assessment
Behavior Analysis and Observational Techniques
Basic Training
Cayman Islands
November 14 – 18, 2011
How to detect balloon swallowers (Internal Swallower / Internal Carrier), and techniques used by passengers to smuggle narcotics concealed in bags, cargo, and on their bodies (Narcotics Body Carriers). Effective techniques in intercepting narcotics at Airports, Ports, and Transportation Terminals by Observing and Analyzing the Deceptive Behavior of the Narcotic Smugglers.
Narcotics Interdiction and Behavior Analysis
Observational Techniques and Behavior Analysis, known as Behavior Profiling, for Customs Narcotics Interdiction at Airports, Sea Ports, and other ports of entry targets Drug Smugglers, even when hiding among the crowd of passengers. Defining the thin line, between truth and deception, in a setting where you are observing dozens or even hundreds of passengers at a time.
Passenger Security Screening
Rover Concept – Focused directly on the greatest risk, “The Human Factor,” this predictive passenger screening for Law enforcement agencies brings practical application to Customs Enforcement, and Anti Terrorism initiatives. Customs agents learn to understand Deceptive Behavior Indicators (DBI), to make observations of Passengers in a Terminal Setting or while performing other airport duties. Behavior Profiling can increase the officer’s ability to identify, evaluate, and effectively communicate across the department or while interacting with other security or Law Enforcement agencies.

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.

Maritime Security Training
Maritime Security Training and Passenger Screening
Maritime Security Training has evolved since the Terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the implementation of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS). Greater emphasis has been placed on Observation Techniques, known as “Behavior Profiling.” Observation Techniques that can spot Deceptive Behavior displayed by a Maritime Passenger during the Security Screening process, and can lead the Maritime Security Officer to determine if additional screening is necessary.
Observation Techniques Training require a simple, logical, sequential, and systematic approach to learning the observation and application of Behavior in a Maritime terminal setting. For officers responsible for Maritime Security this means the understanding of Human Behavior in a Maritime Terminal, gaining the ability to select passengers based on Deceptive Behavior indicators, and being able to verbalize their observations with greater detail and confidence. Knowing that what they observe presents a risk to the security of the Maritime security system.
Behavior Observation Training for Maritime Security
Knowing and understanding how the perpetrator behaves in a Maritime terminal, Behavior Profiling, 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 Maritime Security Officer, it is easy to see why this approach will have a greater application during the Security Screening. Maritime Security remains a mechanical process and only limited steps have been taken to understand the advantages of Behavior Observation, training and the development of new procedures will make this viable option in Maritime Security.
Training how “Deceptive Behavior” is recognized, identified, and communicated across all groups responsible for Maritime Security during the screening of passenger requires a common terminology between the Ship Security Officer, Maritime Security, Port Security Officer, Company Security Officers, and Law Enforcement. Training on Behavior Observation Techniques in a Maritime Terminal Setting can improve Passenger Security, expedite Passenger Screening, but ultimately, it is the constant adaptation of the Maritime Security codes and regulations to include and recognize the application of Behavior Observation Techniques as a solution to Maritime Security.

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.

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.

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.
