programme accordingly, based upon a

security risk assessment carried out by

the relevant national authorities.

threat assessment and risk management

methodologies can be found in the

restrictions on liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) in hand luggage

shoe screening - additional requirements for US-bound passengers (e.g. API)

separation of passengers – laptops out – staff screening - increased training requirements
