Abstract

Aviation security has become a global concern for the international community, especially for authorities, airlines, and passengers. Any catastrophic event due to a security breach could produce unimaginable consequences worldwide. Besides the potential risks comprised of natural hazards, technological devices, and human error, aviation security experts must deal with criminal incidents, war, and terrorism. In the latter case, perpetrators know that the impact of terrorist attacks becomes larger at crowded facilities or means of transportation. This paper intends to describe the event of Munich massacre in 1972 from the perspective of the aviation security, and then, to establish the applicability of its lessons learned to a highly-attended scenarios like the sport mega events (SME), so popular in Latin America.
