Should Full Body Searches Be Allowed

Decent Essays
Why do we have airport security? Airport security is there to protects people from bringing bad stuff on airplanes and to stop terrorism and it takes less time than being patted down but some people don't like them and think we should not be allowed. Airport full body searches should be allowed and kept.

The first reason why airport searches should be allowed is that it makes sure bad things don't get taken on airplanes, “Since our stand up in 2002, we have screened nearly six billion passengers. Our frontline officers have detected thousands of firearms and countless other prohibited items and we have prevented those weapons from entering the cabin of an aircraft.” They do this for our safety and so nothing bad happens to the passengers or the pilot and the flight attendants when the plane is landed and or in flight. Also so people don't get hurt. This connects with the American Constitution because back then and today nobody wants someone to get

Also it make things more efficient, “Using full-body scanners is more effective than manually patting down every passenger, advocates claim.” This supports my claim because it takes ness time and gets people on time to places and its more efficent which the people during the consultation were trying to do all the time.

One reason why someone might think airport searches are bad is the lack of privacy. A lot of people will say that Airport invade their privacy and their IV amendment, “The images the scanners create clearly represent an invasion of privacy” I do not think this is true because i believe that airport searches are there to protect us and not to do anything else, they make it so we are safe and that's why i think airport searches should be allowed

Airport searches should be allowed in airports because of they stop bad things from coming on the planes and hurting people and they are more

    The Transportation Security Administration sets rules and regulations for airport security to protect passengers and prevent hijacking on planes (Airport Security Strategies). Patrick Smith argues that the TSA has the wrong mindset because security regulations and screenings currently in place are too focused on searching for pointy objects, shoe removal, and liquids/gels. These methods are self-destructive because with the majority of security measures focused in airports dangerous people or weapons are still a risk if they slip past the weak security screenings and board the aircraft. Moreover, the present security screenings are annoying for passengers. After unpacking all electronic devices and liquids, unloading anything metal from the…

    They can’t just take a person’s records without a reason. Having the Patriot Act enables our country to be safer, especially with all the other terrorist attacks that have been happening all over the world, like the Berlin Bombings and the Paris Shootings. The Patriot Act also gives the public the reassurance that the government is doing something to try and keep them safe. As a result of all the surveillance there have been some minor terrorism acts that have been uncovered, and it works as a fear mechanism to scare the terrorists. Although the PATRIOT was created to keep the US safe, the intelligence agencies have abused their power on the fact that there are loopholes in the bill.…

    Police should be allowed to conduct random searches of schools, malls and other public places using sniffer dogs because of the safety of the people. Many times illegal actions have occurred behind closed doors and no one has realized until matters have become severe. An example would be when people are crossing the border with illegal substances. If hidden well, airport security cannot suspect/find anything but sniffer dogs are able to. This also occurs in school, for students would not tell on each other for possessing drugs and there is only so much teachers can supervise.…

    DAVID FALLSBAUER’S RIGHTS UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WERE VIOLATED BY THE POLICE OFFICERS, BECAUSE WHEN FACED WITH AMBIGUITY REGARDING THE A THIRD PARTY’S CONSENT TO SEARCH THEY FAILED TO MAKE A FURTHER INQUIRY. BY DOING SO, THE OFFICERS VIOLATED DAVID’S RIGHT TO PRIVACY. The primary question before this Court is whether police officers must make a further inquiry when faced with an ambiguity regarding a third party’s consent to search. The Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals have taken different views when deciding the actions a police officer must take when faced with an ambiguity pertaining to third party consent. It is crucial to our society that a person’s right to privacy is protected and able to be exercised.…

    Over the course of time, laws and policies have been changed to conveniently to ensure it is easier for police to search and arrest African Americans. Initially, police could only search citizens with a search warrant and probable cause. However, it has become normal for people, especially those of color to be search without either. When these searches are conducted they are labeled safety searches (or what they 're most commonly referred as, "stop and frisk") and are allegedly conducted in the interest of public safety. However, the searches are often conducted not for reasons that are legitimate, but based on the appearance of the citizen, with the most prevailing characteristic; race.…

    While the government made safety precautions after 9/11, they added metal detectors and other security to airports. The TSA officers began to check the passenger’s personal luggage, and restricted the number of items one must be allowed on the plane. The new laws were stripping away rights by adding the security and having the participants submit to these laws. It is unconstitutional and it goes against the fourth amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “the rights of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no…

    Introduction Stop and frisk tactics have been used to preserve public safety and officer well-being. A stop and frisk is a non-intrusive police stop and pat-down based on the reasonable suspicion in relation to a crime that has happened, will happen, or is in the process of being carried out (Cornell Law School, 2017). Stop and frisk situations are highly common and the reported instances have increased by approximately 7% annually (Hovhannisyan, 2006). However, the approach is highly controversial because it operates primarily on officers' perceptions and opinions, which opens the door to personal prejudices dictating the usage. This executive summary includes the advantages and disadvantages involved in stop and frisk procedures as well as the constitutionality and recommendations to improve the approach.…
