importance of airport security has steadily increased. Since the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, many changes have taken place at airports to prevent such an attack from occurring again. The purpose of this paper is to: outline airport security procedures, discuss the different technologies involved with airport security, as well as examine the components of airport security. In addition I will also discuss the Transportation Security Administration’s role in our nation’s airport security.

Ethical Analysis of American and Israeli Airport Security Airport security in the United States has been a controversial topic since the terrorist attacks of September 11th. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was established to ensure the safety and security of US airports. Travelers voiced concerns and complaints over the heightened security measures, arguing that they invade privacy and are unethical. On the other hand, Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport takes a very different approach to

Effective Airline Security Measures Are Overdue As far back as 1955, terrorist threats against the airline industry have jeopardized the safety and security of airline passengers. This paper chronologically describes some of the events that caused preventive measures to be proposed and in fewer cases implemented. The fact that there is a terrorist threat against our nation’s airline industry has not changed, but the methods that these radicals employ to bring harm to travelers has grown much

of this paper I will be evaluating the U.S security since 9/11, evaluating their ability to be resilient and evaluating how much progress has been done since 9/11. So you might ask, what is resilience? Resilience is defined as the ability to undergo obstacles and negative situations; and within that, overcome and recover. Prior to 9/11, there were several practices which were acceptable in our transportation system but today are no longer; let’s take a look at a few; 1. Before 9/11, airports hired

single person, is the change in airport security throughout the United States. I choose to research the topic of the change in airports after 9/11 because I travel a lot. Everytime I travel, my parents always mention how the airports were different before 9/11. I never understood what they meant. Also, I have only learned about the effects 9/11 had financially, and personally heard about the loss of family

The Effects of NextGen on NAS Delays at Major Airports The national aviation system is under increasing demand for more and more flights as air passenger numbers continue to rise. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aerospace Forecast Fiscal Years 2015-2035 report estimates an annual growth of 2.0 percent per year from 2016-2035. This will equate to an average of 1.14 billion passengers flying within the U.S. per year by the end of year 2035 (n.d., p. 47). As the number of aircraft flying

Smuggling Drugs in Airports Over the recent past, there has been major growth in illegal trafficking of humans, firearms and most importantly drugs (UN, 2012). These kinds of trafficking are characterized by greater organisation levels. They are also denoted by the presence of criminal groups and chains. Though these activities are not new, both the geographic area and scale of the present problem is unprecedented. The value of illegal trade in 2009 throughout the world was about $1.3 trillion (Jenner

Over the winter, my dad wanted to visit some family members in Canada so my whole family decided to go together as a little vacation. At first, as we were going through the security checkpoint, we were laughing and messing around in Farsi, but all of a sudden we were stopped by a few security guards. They asked my father to step to the side so that they could do a random screening and my dad, although he gave no reason to be considered suspicious, agreed. However, this “random screening” began with
