machines/scanners it brought such a drastic change in security because, for example, there are people that think that they can still take whatever they want on a plane like before 9/11, but since the new machines/scanners are able to detect metal or any hidden foreign object can stop someone from making another drastic tragedy. After 9/11 they started to limit what you are able to take on a plane and introduce new procedures. The airport started to introduce to remove shoes and banning liquids (Villemez 1). By removing shoes can also save many lives because, for example, sometimes in the shoes, they can locate any small weapons or they can hide bombs. After 9/11 the pilots were able to apply to become a federal flight deck officer, it allows them to carry a loaded gun and act as a federal officer on the plane (Villemez 1). After 9/11 it changed the way people see one another because sometimes it's the least expected person that can cause a big impact.

Khan was a victim of the way she looks due to that she is Canadian and Muslim. To illustrate this idea, the author describes how after 9/11 racial profiling became a very common thing to do. Although racial profiling can be taken too far like what happened to Edwidge Danticat uncle where they didn’t let him pass to the United States even though…

aircraft to a flight deck smaller than a football field in what is essentially a controlled crash, can only be experienced with the Navy and Marine Corps. These naval aviators train tirelessly to protect our country from domestic and international threats. Continuous and sometimes exhaustive training by these aviators help prevent major accidents leading to a fatality or injury and with it the waste of taxpayers money. The last thing anyone wants is an aircraft crashing and killing a pilot or…

of the 9/11 attacks, Congress had passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATS) which federalized airport security. The Transportation Security Administration was created as a result of the ATS Act. The Transportation Security Administration started to create strict rules to make the airline security a better and safer system. After September 11th, 2001, these new threats meant there needed to be even more procedures added to protect our country from attacks. TSA started by making…

The idea of arming pilots comes from the Arming Pilots Against Terrorism Act, which was signed by Former President George W. Bush on November 25, 2002. In the act, and Undersecretary Magaw – who has announced that guns are not allowed in the cockpit in May 2001 (qtd. in Renna 864-865) – was ordered to establish a two-year experimental program ( Federal Flight Deck Officer Program) which compels the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to train and arm airline pilots who volunteered for…
