•Aviation security must “adapt progressively” to meet threats, says AOA chairman •Airports call for better use of intelligence, and exploring the wider deployment of explosive detection devices, the use of behavioural assessment of passengers and body scanners

Ed Anderson, Chairman of the Airport Operators Association, today said: “"Representatives of UK airport operators took part in a constructive discussion with Lord Adonis today, and continue to work closely with Department for Transport officials.”

“We believe that an effective aviation security regime will adapt progressively and will combine multiple elements. Technology such as explosive detection devices and body-scanners will play an important part and there are further opportunities to make better use of intelligence, more co-ordination between relevant agencies and behavioural assessment of passengers.
