Course Overview
Most security failures involving passenger and baggage screening exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Insider risk in baggage screening is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this area of corporate security practice outperform teams that only plan it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting passenger and baggage screening and under-invest in testing it. The course covers the practice within corporate security practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in baggage screening before they become incidents. Every module pairs a short input on passenger and baggage screening with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme works equally well for those formalising baggage screening for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of corporate security practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
