Aviation Security since September 2001
- 2. The number of terrorist attempts on civil aviation has steadily increased since September 2011 Some attempts have been stopped, but the security chain has failed to respond in many cases Weapons and other devices are increasingly difficult to detect, and security staff are not always trained to meet todays challenges
