Understanding the impact of the federalization of airport screening is important. It is important because it seems to raise controversial concerns both negative and positive. Screening of all passengers’ is a critical position and needs to be taken very seriously. A position to constantly do the same security measure day in and day out can be daunting. The reason it could be so draining is because it can be difficult to stay motivated when conducting the same mission. Positive and negatives…

Armed and Unharmed “I can’t believe they haven’t instantaneously allowed pilots to defend themselves given the gaps in the current system,” said Representative John L. Mica, Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee on aviation (West). He is referring to pilots of commercial airliners defending themselves by use of` weapons; such as firearms. The use of these firearms would be very beneficial to airliners and should have action taken in favor of it. The benefits of…

Do you think the evolution of airport security since 9/11 has made a positive or negative impact on the U.S. I think it has impacted the safety of U.S citizens positively because, before 9/11 you didn’t even have to take off your shoes, or any of your electronics out of your bag and you didn’t have to have a passport to go to and from Canada. We are a lot safer now that security is being taken seriously. 54% of people say that they would give up their privacy and freedoms to be protected from…

It was evident that there was a dramatic need for change in security post 9/11 attack. The terrorist had breached security at three American airports, allowing them to conduct the act of terrorism. ‘Eight were identified as requiring additional security checks (Prenzler, Lowden and Sarre 2010, 10)’, but yet they still pass through security. This attack gave way for governments to create legislation…

Charlotte, NC. Three minutes into flight it struck a flock of Canada geese and lost power in both engines. Air controllers tried to divert the US Airways plane back to La Guardia or a nearby airport in New Jersey. Captain Chesley "Sully'' Sullenberger decided he did could not safely land the plane in either of the airports, and glided the plane into the Hudson. As water got in the drifting plane, the passengers walked out of the doors to stand on the wings or the partially submerged slides. A…

efficient way to fight terrorism would be to use profiling that is based on criminal activity and not race. Behavioral patterns or psychological characteristics would be better, more relevant indicators of who would be more likely to commit crimes. At an airport, for example, there are expectations of how a typical passenger behaves, how a family behaves, and even how air crew behaves. If a security official sees something out of the ordinary than what he or she would expect to see, they should…

without getting caught going through airport security. Was this attack caused because of the lack of airport security? Do you think that the airport the hijackers got through weren't intensified enough?…

and transport security act was an important part of the process because it was used to form the Transport Security Administration headed by the department of homeland security. Increased measures such as background checks for the more than 750,000 airport employees and increasing the number of law enforcement officers provided to these installations have played a major role in improving the industry post 9/ 11 (Blalock, Kadiyali, & Simon, 2007). The effects of these measures are varied with…

With more people going through airports security will need to become more efficient. One way the Transportation Security Association plans on doing this is by putting a large chunk of its security capability acquisition budget to security technologies. The Transportation Security Administration has a vision that sometime in the near future there will be no need to walk through airport security scanners, they envision something like a hallway that is full of…

regulated and inspected by TSA. Only the carrier or authorized representative (freight forwarder) may screen cargo and a screening confirmation message must be submitted to ACAS before the cargo is allowed to be loaded on the aircraft or depart the airport. Many freight forwarders and carriers scrutinize load lists for high-risk cargo and use high-tech x-ray machines and computerized systems to scan pallets and packages quickly; reducing the handling time for screening. Compliance with the ACAS…
