717 Words3 Pages

Do you think people should have to go through an intensive security screening? People should go through an intensive security screening, because of all of the bombings that have been going on. Airports take many precautions everyday so people can live a safe life, when you go to the airport you will see guards or some sort of security. However, they don’t always catch everything. Airport screenings and security guards should be more intensive about checking and looking for things that stands out.
First airports can legally opt out of TSA services and hire private security instead. TSA is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that has authority over the security of the public in the United States. Each full-body scanner can cost up to $170,000 and TSA is basically stealing money from traveling agencies and making a profit from these machines. However, some travele agencies don’t have the money to pay for the full-body screenings, …show more content…

“we simply don’t have the engineering” to build a perfectly secure computer and network for each plane. There is a very small possibility that a terrorist could hack into a plane, but it is one of the many fears we face when we fly. Anyway, people with government security clearances, people who are with U.S. national security secrets are trusted enough to be allowed through a small screening. Identifying someone’s security clearance is a complicated process.
Furthermore the TSA is making its photo ID rules at airport security more strict. People with expired or people who say that they have lost there ID have to go through a secondary screening. Then the TSA realized that someone on the government’s no-fly list, a list that has been created to keep our planes safer from terrorists, could fly with no ID. But the people with no ID have to answer personal questions from their credit card history to find their

Most people know the story of how President Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s Theater. He was shot in the head by the now infamous, John Wilkes Booth, who then fled the theater, riding a horse south into the former confederate states. He was eventually found and shot, ending a long search. Most people, however, don’t realize how badly he wanted to commit the act. The most important theme in James Swanson’s Chasing Lincoln’s Killer, is that by having extremely strong feelings or very fond beliefs towards a cause, you may end up doing something risky or even insane just to support that cause; which he proves to have been relevant even in the mid-1800’s.

Let’s look at what happen post 9/11. After it’s devastation, the Department of Homeland Security was created to assist in fighting the “war” against terrorism. The DHS implemented many “strategies” to help fight this war, including increasing airport security. American parents protested that TSA agents were groping their kids, and “(Janet) Napolitano (former DHS Secretary) defiantly retorted that if people did not want their children groped, they should yield and use the unpopular full-body machines – the machines being sold by her predecessor, (Michael) Chertoff” (Turley, 3).

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.

Since they have added more security there are still just as many terrorist attacks as there were before we supposable added more security. In the end result it is only making there job easier and our lives more stressful. “The government, have claimed that since this program has been released they have stopped more than 50 attacks”. Why would they release that information and not that they had this program in the first place? I believe that is a made up number to cover their butts for the real one.

The act of “Stop and Frisk” began in the early 1900’s when crime rates began to escalate in major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Stop, question, and frisk, or SQF, is an urban policing measure that involves the large-scale deployment of officers in public spaces (e.g., sidewalks, alleys, the communal outdoor spaces of public housing) tasked with conducting frequent investigative stops (Huq, A. Z. (2017). In the articles provided, it is questioned whether New York’s stop and frisk policy is constitutional or not. I agree with the court's ruling, I believe Judge Scheindlin seemed too involved. “Judge Shira A. Scheindlin, the appeals court said, jeopardized "the appearance of partiality ... by a series of media interviews and public statements purporting to respond publicly to criticism of the District Court”

Each new program instituted to combat crimes comes with some controversy and its opponents. None has come under as much scrutiny as New York’s almost notorious Stop and Frick policy. Introduced as an approach to lever crime in The Big Apply, it has been scrutinized by what is being characterized as unconstitutional practice. Created under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, it has been credited at curbing crime and a fundamental tool in effective policing. Conversely, critics have pointed to the policy as being ineffective, racially driven and in clear violation of a person’s civil liberties.

The TSA suffers from the very same issues that have plagued the Veterans Administration for years, the problem is government employees. Once someone becomes a government employee and they have served beyond the probation period, trying to remove them it is like treating terminal cancer; you can try to treat it, but it will not go away. Replace senior federal leadership with professionals that have not been part of the problem from the start. “Employees know they work for “the government” and know their employment is guaranteed for life; with a few rare exceptions. They also know that the people who they provide services to are not who they work for” (Satterfield, 2015).

Racial profiling suspicious people of specific ethnicities will create a safer place because if the police were to arrest these people then the crime rates will drop, creating a safer place. " Modifying airport profiling procedures to include scrutiny of race, gender, and age has the potential to impact fundamental consultation rights" (MacDonald). If the police were to use racial profiling as a major part to justify if a person was guilty of a crime, that would create a safer environment. Racial profiling should be allowed for the police to use because it is easier for them to track down criminals.

Because personally I feel safer every time I fly and I can see that all the members of the different flight crews are also being frisked. So I feel that by frisking the flight crews, in front of the passengers it makes them feel safer, not unsafe. Because why should flight crewmembers be able to board the flight without security check? Because aren’t there any chance that maybe one flight crewmember could be a terrorist in the disguise to?
