N2  - Traces the historical development of aerial hijackings internationally and domestically and psychological contributions toward their control. It is pointed out that, as the US hijacking problem increased, the Federal Aviation Administration gathered an interdisciplinary study team to derive controls. Selective boarding-gate screening procedures were created which use a behavioral profile to identify high risk passengers for search. A library was established for accumulating all available information on hijackings, information which was used for developing new profiles and deriving tactics to teach airline crews methods of handling future hijackers.
