5.2 Causes and Its Impact on Aviation Industry

The causes' map (the honest analysis): the political terrorism's weapon (the cause's theatre: the 1960s-70s' epidemic's era — the Cuba flights, the Palestinian-and-terror campaigns; the state- sponsored faces); the asylum-and-defection's tool (the individual hijacker's pathologies-and-pleas); the extortion-and-crime's faces; and the modern turn (the low-technology vulnerability's exploitation). The impacts: the industry's costs (the security infrastructure, the delays, the insurance); the victims-and-crews' toll; the diplomatic crises (the landing-state's dilemmas: the asylum-vs-extradition, the passengers' return, the aircraft's-and-criminals' fate — the classic incidents' lore); and the legal system's responses — the three-convention architecture (5.3–5.7) + the ICAO's security Annex (17) + the airports'-and-states' duties (the security's audit regime).
