The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), pronounced /aɪˈkeɪoʊ/, (in French: Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale, OACI ), is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. Its headquarters are located in the Quartier International of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices concerning air navigation, its infrastructure, Flight inspection, prevention of unlawful interference, and facilitation of border-crossing procedures for international civil aviation. In addition, the ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, commonly known as the Chicago Convention.

The ICAO should not be confused with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade organization for airlines also headquartered in Montreal, or with the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), an organization for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP's) with its headquarters at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands.

It was shown to the delegates who attended the Association's 67th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit in Singapore. IATA's Director General and CEO Giovanni Bisignani said despite spending US$7.4 billion a year to keep aviation secure, passengers only see hassle. He said with the help of a screening technology that is being developed, passengers should be able to get from curb to boarding gate with dignity. That means without stopping, stripping or unpacking, and certainly not groping. The system involves authorities issuing new biometric passports. These passports may be issued after background checks are done on people. Passengers approaching the checkpoint will be directed to one of three lanes: "known traveller", "normal", and "enhanced security". The determination will be based on a biometric identifier in the passport or other travel document that triggers the results of a government risk assessment before the passenger arrives at the airport. The three security lanes will have technology to check passengers according to risk. "Known travellers" who have <b>...</b>
