3 Credits This course will concentrate on the disciplines of security and intelligence as applied to aviation. Students will learn to apply the four core security disciplines: communications security, operations security, physical security, and personnel security. Of prime concern in this course is airport/aviation readiness to prevent and respond to the following threats: hijackings, CBRN attacks, bombings, missiles, and shootings as perpetrated by terrorists and/or various nonpolitical hijackers. Other topics include airport familiarization and safety; post 9/11 responses by the public, industry, and government; airport hardening; security screening; first responder roles and needs; the off-airport interface and multimodal infrastructure; cargo and general aviation issues; international security; biometrics and other emerging technologies; and airline security issues. Prerequisites: SIS 312 and SIS 315; or permission of the instructor.

0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course will examine the whole range of issues relevant to the defense and security of the U.S. homeland. These will include transportation security, immigration and border security, cargo security, the presence of radical elements in the United States, the statutory and regulatory structure, and the institutions and agencies responsible for homeland security at the federal, state, and local levels. Legal and ethical issues also will be examined, as these relate to national security and privacy. Prerequisite: SIS 315 or permission of the instructor.

0.00 - 3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course will focus on how to minimize violations of trust in the professional world. It does this through a detailed analysis of the selection, orientation, management, training, resignation, termination, and retirement of personnel in security, intelligence, business, and government organizations. The scope of this course embraces relevant material from the behavioral and social sciences, philosophy, history, computer science, engineering disciplines, and personnel security case histories. Of special relevance are the constructs of personality, morals and ethics, deception, genetic epistemology, corruption, coercion, profiling, and private and public self-consciousness. Prerequisite: SIS 315 or permission of the instructor.
