Airport security became the most important issue after 9/11.

The government should use invasive pat-downs and body scans to ensure passenger safety. As the years go on, the debating on how body scans are unnecessary how we pat downs are an invasion to the people 's privacy. Though there are many doubts as to whether the pat-downs are lawful they are still necessary. Terrorist threats have been happening since September 11, 2001, the terrorist threat within airports are ever so high. Airports these days are on constant high alert and searching passengers before boarding an aircraft is almost necessary with the constant threat of terrorist carrying dangerous items. Terrorist acts such as bombings and hijacking can all be prevented with the body scans. Body scans will instantly see a threat of a weapon and once it is found, air marshals will arrest them immediately.
