Security

According to Jason Villemez of the PBS News Hour, there were immediate changes to airport security following 9/11. Within 2 months of the attacks, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act was passed. This law requires that every single bag is screened at airports andrequires that certain procedures are followed at every airport (Swickard). Before 9/11, scissors, baseball bats, darts, and 4-inch-long blades were allowed, but these are now illegal under the ATSA (O’Connor). The Aviation and Transportation Security Act also created the Transportation Security Administration known as the TSA (Tognotti). Each airport had to supply their own security before 9/11, but with the creation of the TSA, the government supplied security for airports (Villemez). Gabi Logan of USA Today found that the increase in security including baggage checks caused a six percent decrease in the number of passengers. Passengers chose not to travel at all or found a different way to get to their destination. While security in airports was significantly increased, 9/11 also affected millions of Americans involved in the war on terror”.

The Homeland Security Act and the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 along with the Department of Homeland Security, formed Nov. 25, 2002, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), formed in 2003 are all things put in place post 9/11 to control immigration. The one most Americans are familiar with is the Homeland Security Act, which was put into place to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism, and minimize damage and assist in recovery for terrorist attacks that occur in the United States. Visas got to be harder to drop by for visitors, understudies and outside nationals and the individuals who were conceded into the nation were liable to further investigation as fingerprints and other biometric information was gathered. The Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Migration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), are tasked with the security of the U.S. also, its outskirts. The movement strategy influenced individuals from Mexico and Latin America, in spite of their having nothing to do with 9/11, and their way to U.S. citizenship.

One of the worst, yet momentous events in U.S history occurred on September 11th, 2001. This event released a flow of patriotic fervor and a permanent fear among all Americans that they had also now become suspect to acts of international terrorists. This led to a lot of changes in the attitudes of the executive and legislative branches in the United States government. They came up almost immediately with new measures, which were supposedly against terrorism or terrorist threats. One of the principle acts passed by them was called "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001," also called the USA Patriot Act. This was signed and approved as law

The devastation of September 11, 2001, brought worldwide attention as to how defenseless national security is, and some plan had to be an implementation as a preventative from future destruction. This terrible event was identified to be an act of terrorists. In 2002, President George W. Bush did sign the Homeland Security Act. The Homeland Security Bill includes key documents that indicate how the Homeland

The tragic event that occurred on September 11th, 2001 was something that changed our nation forever. Many people already know of the damage it caused: the massive death count, the complete destruction of the World Trade center, and the emotional havoc that plagued many people. It was something horrible that no person could ever forget, but amidst all of the negativity that 9/11 caused, positive changes can be found, predominantly changes that increased airport security throughout the United States. The changes that 9/11 caused affect the whole security process that you have to go through before you board an airplane. (list changes)

Setting up a new computer can be a very intimidating task. There are several steps to ensure that your computer has the necessary setup for the best protection. Some of which include, the operating system settings that are built-into the computer, properly setup of firewall, security settings on the web browser configured correctly, and strong anti-virus software installed to protect the computer. After the computer is setup with a reasonable standard of security, a strong policy for passwords should be implemented to ensure account security along with ensuring the sites you utilize are in fact secure and who they say they are.

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 changed the structure of many organizations and agencies within the law enforcement realm. The horrific terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 brought to light the many shortcomings our country had when it came to the gathering on intelligence, information sharing and the overall response and protection of the country. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 is a direct reflection and response to those very short falls. Under the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the structure of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) changed drastically. On March 1, 2003, employees from the U.S Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service came together to create the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (Staff, 2016, p. 1).

After 9/11/2001, things took place to help prevent any terrorist being able to use planes as a way of causing terrorist acts. After 9/11/2001 in November 2001, Transportation Security Administration was formed and the Aviation and Transportation Security Act was put into law. This act required screening that was going to be conducted by federal officials. TSA was to oversee all ways of transportation in the US. This is one way

After reviewing the scenario about the tragic events of September 11, 2001 political leaders in the US believed it was time to come up with a resolution to this problem so that we can ensure the safety of the American people. After deliberation amongst political leaders USA Patriot Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001) was created. The Patriot Act consisted of different topics based on the benefit and safety of the United States. Topics include enhancing security by investigating crime, increasing penalites of terrorism cases, limitations on immigrant migration across the boarder. Sharing information and cooperation among US government agencies so they

The United States of America experienced one of the worst terrorist attacks in history whereby more than 3000 people lost their lives on September 11, 2001. In an effort to combat terrorism, President George W. Bush pushed for the enactment of the Homeland Security Act in 2002, which became effective on March 1, 2003. It involved reorganization of several United States’ government civil agencies, forming the United States Department of Homeland Security. The goal was not however to take care of terrorism but also included protection against other hazards, whether human-made or natural disasters ("9/11 Attacks - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com," n.d.). However, the reorganization has had an impact in the way criminal investigations are conducted, trammeling the liberties of Americans.

Most Americans were under the idea that terrorist attacks only occurred outside U.S. borders and were a non-issue here on the homeland. After the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, American realized that the homeland was not as secure as once thought. This tragic event brought with it a strong wake-up call for a much-needed check up on America 's security, in particular, airline security. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act passed by 107th Congress and signed on November 19, 2001 established TSA. Then, in March 2003, the TSA transferred from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security (TSA, 2014).

September 11th, 2001 was a day of tragedy for American citizens and also a day of working together as a country to pull together and conquer terrorism. After the terrorist attacks caused by Al Qaeda, the security in airports changed drastically. Passengers were terrified of flying because they now knew anything could occur at any moment. Luggage and Full body scanners were introduced to airports all around the world(TSA). Prior to 9/11, security was not a huge concern. Having to buy advanced security equipment for all airports in America was a major change not only for airports, but also for passengers. Before September 11th, 2001, getting from the entrance to the gate only took approximately five minutes. With barely any security, getting

George W. Bush administration gave birth to Department of Homeland Security, a year after Osama Bin Laden’s strike on the twin towers. This act has caused the deportation of many immigrants in the U.S. Airports workers have been more cautious about letting immigrants’ enter the United States. Airports have begun to do stop people from bringing box cutters to airports. Before 9/11 happened box cutters were accepted but since the hijackers of 9/11 used box cutters, they are no longer accepted. From full body scans to shoes ring removed and pat

On November 18, 2001, President George W. Bush signed the law the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA). This act established the Transportation Security Act (TSA), which merged the security efforts with the Department of Transportation (DOT) (Blalock, G., Kadiyali, V., & Simon, D. H.. (2007). The act also authorized a few very important changes in the security procedures, including the federalization of security screening for passengers and the requirement to screen all checked baggage (Blalock, G., Kadiyali, V., & Simon, D. H..
