talk about international trends in private policing, giving a philosophical overview. Perhaps you could look at the development of private security, contracting out of police services and contracting in of police services, private security and its growth, pointing out the dangers etc. . . . You could illustrate that privatisation cannot be viewed in isolation, but rather that it all has system ...

The ‘Need to Know’ concept is often quoted but rarely defined in the literature. In general the principle directs that unless an individual has a specific reason to have access to a piece of information then that access is denied. The concept is used extensively in privacy legislation throughout Western Nations. The principle is investigated with respect to its use in the protection of personal...

This paper investigates the effects of experience on the intuitiveness of physical and visual interactions performed by airport security screeners. Using portable eye tracking glasses, 40 security screeners were observed in the field as they performed search, examination and interface interactions during airport security x-ray screening. Data from semi structured interviews was used to further ...

This article examines the evolution of relations between India and Indonesia. It argues that there are grounds to believe that this relationship may develop into a broadbased security partnership over time. Whether this occurs sooner rather than later will depend on the extent to which both countries see an imperative to turn their numerous complementary interests into practical deeds.

Security is never perfect, security deals with a lot of uncertainty, and security is complex. Nevertheless, security is one of the non-functional properties, that we, as software architects, have to consider. It is needed to include security in many trade-off decisions (usability, performance, costs, etc. versus security), to compare the security of different architectures, and to check whether...

As the use of online reviews grows, so does the risk of providers trying to influence review postings through the submission of false reviews. It is difficult for users of online review platforms to detect deception as important cues are missing in online environments. Automatic screening technologies promise a reduction in the risk but need to be informed by research as to how to classify revi...

This paper examines factors determining airport charges. Using data for 100 large airports in Europe, we find that they charge higher prices when they move more passengers. Additionally, competition from other transport modes and nearby airports imposes some discipline on the pricing behavior of airports. Low-cost carriers and airlines with a high market share seem to have a stronger countervai...

Abstract: Specifications of security mechanisms often lack explicit descriptions of the envisioned security goals and the underlying assumptions. This makes it difficult for developers and customers to understand the level of security provided by the systems. Moreover, this omission has repeatedly resulted in practical attacks that violate the implicit security assumptions of the specifications...

A law mandating nonintrusive imaging and radiation detection for 100% of U.S.-bound containers at international ports has provoked widespread concern that the resulting congestion would hinder trade significantly. Using detailed data on container movements, gathered from two large international terminals, we simulate the impact of the two most important inspection policies that are being consid...

During the last two decades the European airport industry is liberalised and turned to competitive market environment. This fact attracts an increasing scientific and practical interest to analysis of airport efficiency and its determinants, as well as different aspects of airport competition. This paper contains a critical review of existing researches in these two areas – airport efficiency a...
