Review of Alternative Articles: Security Threats at the Olympic Stadium

Six months after the assault, the National Office of Country Security presented another shading coded U.S. risk admonitory framework to adequately manage the dangers. The present danger level cautions, the air terminal's and Metro's consistent alarms for unattended and suspicious stuff and the shoe weighs in the air terminal regularly help individuals to remember the 9/11 assaults and the powerlessness of the country to further assaults. The Fringe security and Port and Load Security have been expanded. The expanded efforts to establish safety in outskirt and port security may have a little impact on Americans, however have more effect on migrants, guests, and business voyagers. Quickly after the assaults, everybody felt otherworldly, less materialistic, and understood that what truly matters is friends and family. This has endured to a degree, yet not for eternity. Be that as it may, an enduring change is that everybody is currently mindful of war, terrorism and life's

In society today many citizens feel violated with the security methods taken by homeland security. “On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States marked the beginning of the global war on terrorism. The methods used are justifiable as they provide protection against possible threats or attacks. This attack on U.S. soil increased surveillance of both American citizens and foreign nationals” (Andrew, C., & Walter,

decided to overhaul their security protocols and specifically upgrade the security involving airports and airplanes. The upgrade in security of airports, although in some cases helpful, has caused an unnecessary amount of problems for American civilians due to the invasive changes made by the American government. Not only is it harder to get through security in America, but many of the American’s privacies have been taken away by the government in the name of safety as David Lyon says in his article on security changes in airports: “after 9/11, various policies and even laws concerning matters such as privacy and confidentiality have been overridden by the concern with ‘national security’”(405). Under the claim of safety, American and foreign civilians’ rights and privacy have been abused and taken away, leading to many people being overall upset and angry with the

The Munich massacre occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, where members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventually murdered by Black September, a Palestinian terrorist organisation. By the end of the agonising ordeal, 11 Israeli athletes and coaches had been killed, and one German police officer. Consequently, the “Operation Wrath of God” was carried out in order to assassinate the individuals involved in the massacre, in which five of the eight members of the terrorist group were killed. The remaining three members were captured, and later released by West Germany after the hijacking by Black September of a Lufthansa airliner. The aftermath of the terrorist attack consisted of several short and long term impacts, including the effects on the Olympic Games, the world’s view on security and the victims’ families.

Since the beginning of aviation, aircraft have been used for other intentions besides carrying passengers and cargo. They have been used as weapons of war dating all the way back to the first world war, and the use of aircraft has enlightened the advancement of the aviation. “Throughout the history of aviation, the greatest progress in flight has been made during time when either war or the threat of war was present” (Millspaugh, et al., 2008, p. 33). However, the war we face today has been triggered by the deliberate use of aircraft to cause death, destruction, and mayhem.

but can you say with certainty that the person next to you, or the person across the room would make the same decision? If someone in front of you in line suddenly gets out of line and leaves the area, or someone at a gate waiting area suddenly gathers their things and leave; did they get a sudden craving for a hot dog? Did nature call? or did they note something in the area that you didn't? This is not the first time a law enforcement leak has ruined an innocent person's life, nor is it likely to be the last. But due to its world-wide publicity, the actions of one blabbermouth law enforcement agent has threatened safety and security of millions others when future bombs may be noted but go

In Steven Brill's Are We Any Safer, an article which appeared in the September 2016 issue of The Atlantic, the rhetor attempts to educate the audience on the issue of post 9/11 security, and whether or not it has improved safety. The writer responds to this exigence and makes rhetorical response effective by using ethos, pathos, and logos to appeal to the audience. The audience in which Brill is addressing is the American people. Americans were affected the most by 9/11, so they are the ones who will be attracted to this response. In the article Brill also expertly balances resources and constraints, a key part to any rhetorical response.

"9 Israelis on Olympic Team Killed With 4 Arab Captors As Police Fight Band That Disrupted Munich Games," screamed the headline of the front page of The New York Times. The attack occurred during the wee hours of September 5, 1972, but news of the crisis, although widespread on television sets across the world, would not reach The New York Times until September 6. When it did reach the papers, it was clear that something had gone wrong. Very wrong. The New York Times first reported this event as a mind-boggling screw-up, and in the days that followed, reported on the manner in which the international community retaliated. In

There was a possible security threat regarding a tractor-trailer that occurred in Times Square in New York City. The New York Police Department issued an advisory that a possibly dangerous tractor-trailer had deviated from its original course and was headed towards Times Square after being paid $10,000. After proper communication and information was shared between the New York Police Department, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Rhode Island Fusion Center, Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, and the Connecticut Intelligence Center, the Connecticut State Police was able to intercept the vehicle and determined it was not a threat. It only took three hours from the time the New York Police Department issued an advisory to the time that the Connecticut State Police stopped the vehicle and determined it posed no threat to the public (5). Even though the truck was not a threat, this was a great example of proper communication, fusing of information, teamwork, and dissemination of information to counter a possible terrorist attack.

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 impacted the American people without many of them realizing it. The act called for increased monitoring of computer networks, phone lines, and online history inside the United States and allowed the government to deport suspects (ACLU). What was created by the act has snaked its way into all aspects of our lives, creating a sense of order and restricting some freedom. However, some say that this imposition into our daily lives limits our freedoms and actions allowed us by the Constitution. Many interest groups voice strong resentment for the act while others try to demonstrate the strengths and triumphs of the Homeland Security Act. This paper will show the differing viewpoints of those that feel that the

As we learned the Secret Service , and other agencies, assigns an experienced agent to oversee the advance for every site the president visits during a trip. That “site agent” is often a senior member of the detail, or at least trusted by his or her colleagues to supervise the complex process of managing even a short visit from the most powerful man in the world. Site agents handle everything. They are responsible for everything. Details matter. If the Secret Service suffers from complacency, or if agents are not properly trained, the sites will fall apart. Errors, large and small, will cascade. Yet here are some news-making moments and blunders from the past five years:

The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2011 prompted the world to reevaluate and drastically modify airport and airline security. “Four targets had been chosen, all iconic American buildings that would send a clear message of the depth of their hatred for the United States. All four planes crashed, killing all on board—terrorists, crew members, and passengers, along with hundreds who were killed inside the structures, on the ground, and the men and women who ran into collapsing buildings in an effort to try and save others” (Smutz 1). As Jason Villemez said “the decade after the 9/11 attacks reshaped many facets of life in America” (Villemez 1). Before the attacks, people did not think that large scale hostility towards innocent people in

In the summer of 2010, Canada’s largest city had the honour of hosting the annual G20 summit to discuss contemporary global economic issues. Given that such international events typically attract thousands of protesters, organizers formed an Integrated Security Unit consisting of police officers from across the country to provide security during the summit in downtown Toronto. Little did Torontonians know, public safety and security came with the heavy price tag of surrendering certain rights and freedoms, such as the right not to be unreasonably searched and the freedom of expression, which are guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. According to Ombudsman Andre Marin, Regulation 233/10, which permitted police officers to infringe on these fundamental rights and freedoms, would almost certainly be illegal and unconstitutional under the Charter therefore its implementation was as a result of a one-time governmental error. However, Carl Schmitt argues that a country’s positive laws simply hide the actuality of sovereignty, since the sovereign is “he who decides the exception.” This paper will argue that the extensive authority granted to the police during the G20 reveals the fundamental reality of the inherent need for violence in the preservation of national sovereignty as contended by Carl Schmitt. The first part of this essay will discuss the necessity and justification of extraordinary measures that must be taken in times of emergencies. The second part of this

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. New regulations such as taking off shoes and full body scanners soon became the new normal in airports across the country. 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 tackle terrorism in airports. Instead of high-tech machines, the airport focuses on the use of intelligence data and profiling to effectively identify terrorists. In the

In Alcock v Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police , there is also the issue regarding the cost of deterring beneficial activities. As the ‘Hillsborough disaster’ was broadcasted live, many
