REPORT Airport Security is integral part of National Security. The objective of providing security to airports is to safeguard the passengers, crew, ground personnel, the general public and the airport infrastructure against unlawful acts as per International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices laid down in Annexure-17 to the Chicago Convention. Annexure – 17 (Security) of International Civil Aviation Organization requires that all Contracting States shall establish and implement a written National Civil Aviation Security Programme (NCASP); shall have a designated appropriate authority to be responsible for development, implementation and maintenance of NCASP; shall allocate tasks and co-ordinate activities related to aviation security. 2. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) is the designated agency for providing security in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations. The broad security architecture is laid down by the BCAS in terms of codified five documents. They are called National Civil Aviation Security Programme, National Civil Aviation Security Training Programme, National Civil Aviation Security Quality Control Programme and Bomb Threat Contingency Plan to deal with hijacking. 3. Airport security in the country is looked after by specialized Police agencies, State Police and airport security organizations, depending on the security conditions prevalent in a particular area. Bureau of Civil Aviation Security co-ordinates the working of the various agencies to ensure that all security norms are followed by them. 4. The violent incident which occurred at Karipur International Airport at Kozhikode on 10th June, 2015 involving the employees of Airports Authority of India and Central Industrial Security Force was an eye opener regarding the security system available at Indian airports. With this backdrop, the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee

After obtaining the boarding card, the passenger goes through immigration checks where his/her passport/visa is thoroughly screened and their biographical data are stored into the computer by the government immigration officials. And, at this stage the passenger's data is matched with the suspected criminal databank. The Security Manager also stated that these screening procedures are generally similar at all airports (27 April 2009). The Bengaluru International Airport [Bangalore] website has a "security and passport control" section for international flight passengers that states that passengers, after acquiring their boarding pass, must proceed to the emigration check area where they are to complete "Visa formalities," after which they can proceed to the "international security control area," and then to the departure area (n.d.). Specific information on the security screening procedures within the emigration check area or the international security control area is not available on this airport website.
