Abstract
The Anti-Hijacking program is the United States aviation and airport security program. The US established the program following rampant hijackings in the 1970s. The hijacking of a flight in Scotland also contributed to the establishment of the program. The United States aviation safety programs, including safety management systems, compliance philosophy, voluntary reporting, the commercial aviation safety team, and aviation safety information analysis and sharing, are vital because they enhance and ensure safety at the airports and aboard flights. Emergency preparedness and response in the aviation industry is essential because it provides clear guidelines on actions necessary when an accident occurs to mitigate risk, salvage property, and save lives. The history of space exploration and present-day commercial space operations dates back to the 1930s when Nazi Germany started making missiles (Lombardo, 2019). The Germans used the missiles against London during World War 2 hence triggering the manufacture of missiles by the Soviet Union and the United States after the end of World War 2. President Bush started the evolution of air cargo operations to stop space shuttle missions upon completing the international space station in space. The cargo spacecraft dubbed Cargo Dragon replaced the space shuttles.         
A discussion of the United States Aviation and Airport Security Program
The major United States Aviation and Airport Security Program is the Anti-Hijacking Program of the Federal Aviation Administration. The US developed the program in response to the prevalence of hijackings in the past. Similarly, the infamous Airlines Flight 103 attack over Lockerbie also informed the development of the program to enhance aviation security improvement (Young & Wells, 2019). The program. The Program implementation required all the air carriers to adopt surveillance equipment and techniques in all the US airports. In a similar breath, operationalizing the program required collaboration with the US military to ensure metal detectors and x-ray devices are used to curb rampant hijackings (Federation Aviation Administration, 2021). The military metal-detectors and x-ray devices were considered appropriate because of their high performance and accuracy.
The Federal Aviation Administration was responsible for impl...
