Vocabulary: Security Threats

Flashcards on this page

This page includes a 13-card interactive flashcard deck. Here’s a taste:

• bomb threat — A warning — very often false, but always taken seriously — that there is a bomb on board or in the airport.
• suspicious item — An unattended or unusual object that might be dangerous and must be checked by security specialists.
• unlawful interference — The formal term for any illegal act that threatens the safety of a flight, such as a hijack or an attack.

Members study all 13 cards — flip, shuffle and star them, and review each one with spaced repetition on the Study dashboard, timed for just before it fades.
