Airport security has intensified throughout the United States since the terrorist attacks in 2001. Airport security has intensified by having peoples ID Name and picture must match what is on ticket. Before 9/11 there was no way to tell that if the passenger 's name and picture
With security concerns paramount, each plane had to be searched and every passenger
America along with the other parts of the world have changed since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Our whole security system has changed to become suspicious of everyone. Traveling out of the country and even within the United States can be a hassle with having proper ID, passport and searches. Passengers can not have a certain amount of liquid in their bags if they are carrying their bags onto the plane. The arrival time is now 2-3 hours before the flight time in past time it was only one hour.
In the ten years immediately following 9/11, the United States spent 635 billion dollars on homeland security. With this increase in spending American citizens would expect airport security to be greatly improved, but there have been many instances where the TSA failed to do its job. On a flight from Atlanta to Chicago, Blake Alford carried a fully loaded semi-automatic handgun with him all the way to his hotel in Chicago. Mr. Alford turned himself into the TSA after he realized his infraction, but this rare instance has people wondering how often the TSA makes mistakes. Alford went through security like any other traveler in the Atlanta airport, but even a full body scan did not detect his weapon.
The Effects of 9/11 on the United States Around 2,753 people got killed during 9/11. 9/11 is remembered as a day in time (September 11, 2001) when terrorist high-jacked planes and flew them into the Twin Towers in New York City. There are many ways 9/11 has affected our country. Tighter airport security, new firefighting equipment, and a weakened economy are all ways that day in history has affected us in the United States.
Transportation Security Administration was a an effect of 9-11. This advanced security when leaving the country. TSA made you have to be searched to go on plane. This was a great improvement because this policy made it a lot harder to pass through with anything dangerous. Before this policy, you didn 't have to show your ID to go somewhere on a plane.
In the fear of another attack the U.S government made airplane checkpoints more secure and created laws that gave the government the right to profile anyone. Having the government implement laws makes everyone feel safer to a certain degree. This is because the harsher laws against the terrorist, the more your personal life is
Even now, that event still affects our freedom because in an airport you will always get checked before you go in so that something like that never happens again; that is giving up our freedom for safety. Everyone
Life consists of choices, which are sometimes out of people’s control. The choice of terrorists to crash planes into the World Trade Center solidified the lives of young Afghan children far into the future. After the attacks, America sent out to Afghanistan to combat the terrorist organizations that planned this attack, putting many civilians in the crossfire. In the novel Ground Zero, eleven-year-old girl, Reshmina, living with her family, has grown up in the shadow of this war. Hila, her older sister, was murdered by American soldiers at her own wedding when they were believed to be Taliban.
The terrorist attacks on 9/11 have caused many debates over the years since they occurred back in 2001. Two American planes were hijacked and ran into the twin tower buildings, another was hijacked and headed for the pentagon, but thankfully never made it. Thousands of Americans lost their lives on the days of the attacks and to this day the sorrow hangs with us. Security was a huge debate of the time because America is supposed to be the safest nation there is, so how did this happen? America had lots of changes to make the attacks on September 11, 2001.
The presidential debate is a terrifying and clear glimpse of what our future will consist of if we elect the wrong candidate. More specifically, electing Donald Trump as the president of the United States will be detrimental to nonprofit organizations and the sector as a whole as well. He is a man whose ideology is rooted in racism and inequality for women. Trumps inhumane stance on stop and frisk could create a rift in organizations that could essentially offset the way nonprofits service the community and interact amongst other organizations.
Air Safety” also written back in 2002 by Elisa Ben-Rafael. The article is about the lack of security right after the 9/11 attack, and Elisa felling’s about that nobody has taken this serious. Elisa is saying in her article that the security standards in America compared to her home country, Israel, are very low. But when it comes to frisking, Elisa feels the same as Shashi Tharoor - Humiliating.
Stop and Frisk Stop and Frisk, the tactic that has been going on for only for short time, yet there seems to be racial tension already. But is this new information actually true or is it just good policing? According to Heather Mac Donald from the Manhattan Institute, says “what looks like racial profiling might just be good policing”. However according to Ranjana Natarajan from the Washington post “it’s clear that two issues need to be addressed: racial profiling and police use of excessive force.” Unfortunately we cannot have both ways.
There has been many controversial issues about the “stop-and-frisk” law. One side believes that it is racially profiling the communities of minorities and the other side believes that it is helping communities rise away from violence. There is a lot of history and background on stop-and-frisk and how it originated in the United States, especially in different places around the world. This law has been very controversial even within the law itself, so controversial states are debating on getting rid of it completely. Many politicians speak on this tactic in both positive and negative ways and the statistical growths and decreases on this topic.
