- Abstract
Peace and Prosperity have been a long-standing human desire for a successful life. There is diversity for humans to adopt peaceful ways or to follow the felonious ways of crimes to spend the life. Under the auspices of the LAGs plot created by terrorists at Heathrow Airport, this research depicts fundamental vulnerabilities of Aviation-Security as to why aviation is still a wet morsel for the terrorists. European Union (EU) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have shown their synchronized anxiety and agility in this regard. Technological efforts have been made in contours of Liquid Explosive Detection Systems (LEDS) but it became unsuccessful due to false alarming and technological errors. As a panacea, ICAO devised the pragmatic SARPs for the world to adopt till the perfect LEDS is invented and sprouted all over the world. Furthermore, due to lack of validation-process-of-understanding among states, a common transfer / transit pax is bearing a dire nuisance and discomfort for the world in milieu of the LAGs. Besides this, lack of security training of airport functionaries and their acardiac attitude to airport security is in the best interest of perpetrators to execute their nefarious motives. This dissertation is accentuating on the points of improvements to deter the possible exploitation by using LAGs. The states ought to ensure implementation of ICAO-SARPs and solutions for the ease of pax through Validation-Process-of-Understanding. The states further need to run a proper media campaign to create awareness among people about global LAGs measures. An attack or conspiracy from this aspect can change the course of international politics into an abominable state of World-War also. It is not in the AVSECs' best interest to merely rely on LEDs.
