Pervasive computers in aviation passenger risk profiling

![CDATA[This chapter sets out to inform the reader about the impact of pervasive computers in aviation passengers risk profiling. First is an overview of the perception of risk from a passenger perspective, including definitions and general descriptions of risk; and discussion on how perception can influence decisions, and thus behaviour. Then follows a section on profiling, its definition, how it can be done, where it is done, problems that have been encountered with its application, and recent developments in profiling including Australia's growing involvement in its use. The issue of pervasive computers is interwoven throughout, to highlight its role in passenger profiling. The chapter then discusses the legislation that relates to aviation and concludes by noting that passenger perception of risk and use of profiling techniques is an important factor that needs to be addressed in the application of passenger profiling to risk management in the Australian aviation industry.]]
