Nothing on this page silently crosses from history into fiction. Source records are labeled as dataset claims. Ongoing claims are not settled history. The separate 2027–2036 register begins with FICTIONAL SCENARIO — NOT HISTORICAL, NOT A FORECAST; its probabilities are source-authored estimates that are not calibrated or additive, and its consequence paths are illustrative rather than predictive.

UNCHANGED SOURCE-BOUNDED RECORD

2014 - Aviation and public transport security

In 2014, Aviation and public transport security functioned as an annual strategic development rather than one isolated incident. Hijacking fears, liquid explosives, airport screening, rail bombings, and drone disruptions kept transport security under pressure. The record is included because this stream shaped military planning, espionage priorities, terrorism risk, economic coercion, civil protection, or global governance during the year. Location is Global / multi-country in Global when the issue had a clear theater; otherwise a representative hub or blank global coordinate is used. Impact scope is assessed as Global.
