Terrorism and Prevention
Terrorism has become an international problem in the last generation or so.“Terrorism is the use of violence or intimidation in pursuit of political aims”(google).

They,Al-Qa’eda, were still a major organisation for many years till the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, after that America shifted its focus to a new threat known as ISIS. ISIS was created in 2006 and was a part of Al-Qa’eda till late 2013 or early 2014(What).

We currently have an air marshal on 150 flights a day out of the 30000 flights or approximately .5% of all flights daily(Potter).The budget for the air marshal service was cut last year from 966 million dollars down to 805 million dollars, that 's over a 100 million dollar cut to a group that is a lot smaller than we think it
