According to Wikipedia, globalization describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation, and trade.

I'd say air travel plays a big part in facilitating that process. A case could be made that because of globalization, airport security was needed in the first place. Back in the thirties, when air travel was reserved for the happy few, airport security wasn't as much of an issue as it is now.
