ABSTRACT
Protecting air transport is based on a set of security measures and practices that serve both, to prevent unlawful acts, and the possibility to flexibly respond to potential unlawful act. This article deals with the project of the Air Transport Department of the University College of Business in Prague. The main goal of the project was to develop a methodology for so called “behavioural detection”. This detection is based on the observation of human manifestations suggesting some stressful behaviour that may be based on the intention to commit an unlawful act. Based on the findings of human psychology, functional diagnostics of the human body and well-known methods used in engineering system and related field called Safety Management System, the team has managed to create a methodology for assigning the degree of risk to a potentially dangerous person.
