take off from the backyard, they need airports, both large international facilities and general aviation landing fields. Equally obviously, airports are more than hangars, runways, control towers and refueling stations;
they include restaurants, gift shops, coffee carts, and florists, not to mention airline counters and baggage facilities. In other words, a great many people, including airline employees, various workers at
the airport itself, and outside vendors all work together to keep an airport running. This paper considers some of the security procedures for the myriad activities that make up the
aviation network. Discussion In 1997, "Congress mandated that the FAA deploy commercially available explosives-detection equipment in U.S. airports" (National Research Council (U.S.). Panel on Assessment of Technologies Deployed to Improve
Aviation Security, 1999-hereafter "National Research Council, 1999"). The FAA first deployed the equipment to the airports in San Francisco and Atlanta and later expanded the deployment to "air carriers at
other large U.S. airports" (National Research Council, 1999, p. 18). The FAA was initially responsible for all aspects of the original installation; other stakeholders in the aviation system, including airport
operators and the airlines themselves, acted only as consultants and in supporting roles (National Research Council, 1999). Airport operators are responsible for the security of their facilities, as instructed by
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 107, enacted in 1971 (National Research Council, 1999). They may use private contractors to provide security or provide it themselves; physical security at airports is
further broken down by "exclusive-use agreements between airport operator and the air carriers serving the airport" (National Research Council, 1999, p. 18). Such agreements make the air carriers themselves responsible
for physical security in those operational areas that they lease from the airport, including "air-operations areas, cargo buildings, and airline spaces in the terminal buildings" (National Research Council, 1999, p.
