The DC-10 is jet airliner manufactured by McDonnel Douglas. It featured an unusual three-engine design, with two turbofan engines mounting on the underwing pylons and the third at the base of the vertical stabilizer. Also unusual is the DC-10’s outwardly opening cargo door. Most planes have their cargo doors swinging inwardly to utilize the pressure difference between the thin atmospheric air at altitude and the pressurized fuselage to keep the cargo door solidly in place. However, McDonnel…

the ATSA to institute new security measures as quick as possible. In 2002 the TSA was moved from the DOT to the newly created Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The TSA began to operate the screen procedures of more than 425 airports nationwide. Eighteen airports however applied for the Screening Partnership Program (SPP) with five being selected as part of the 2 year pilot program. It is this Authors opinion that the creation…

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.

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?…
