Profiling technology in the field of aviation (transport) security

Abstract. The subject of study in the paper is the problem of air passengers’ safety. Currently, one of the approaches to the problem is the introduction of profiling technology to the work of airport security and law enforcement. The concept of profiling is based on building a psychological profile (portrait) of a passenger. Profiling provides the opportunity to receive objective information about the potential dangers of the subject and can be effectively used for measures to prevent acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation and other transport infrastructure.
