The Airport Security Of Aviation

Airport Security was first developed in 1970 in New Orleans. The New Orleans International Airport was the first to require metal detectors for flier’s safety. On November 10, 1972 there was a high jacking incident and resulted in airport screening for all carry-on bags and passengers. Following the next two years, congress passed the Air Transportation Security Act which is regarded that all carry-on bags in United States airports are to be screened but only to search for weapons or explosives. On December 21, 1988 a second explosive incident occurred in Scotland resulting in many casualties. The U.S. reacted quickly enforcing to have all checked luggage screened through the x-ray detector. After 9/11, all objects with a blade

Lobbying for the certification of the Town of Edson airport was another initiative Chouinard helped to implement. Future planning could one day see Edson on the map as a functional airport for Edson and surrounding areas. "Business transport will also increase the town’s viability for tourism to maintain its prosperity," said Chouinard.

Now it may seem frightening to hear that the NSA has the capability to access privacies such as emails and bank accounts which leads many to the question of how is searching these things going to protect their safety? This concern is genuine, but it helps to compare it to something more well known. Airport security is something we all have to endure, and we do not have the option to opt out of having our belongings and ourselves be checked by TSA agents. It may seem unnecessary to check every single passenger traveling through an airport, but when it comes to the safety of all of the passengers on a plane, it is widely agreed to be worth it. Although not always publicly known, the TSA stops many people with prohibited items. It is

Airports are one of the busiest places on the planet; in most cases airports are not the safest, even if airports have high security for passengers. After September 11, 2001 (9/11), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) started to see flaws in the United States (U.S.) and in foreign airport security checkpoint. In the sixteen years after 9/11, airport security has improved tremendous, though airports continue to have terrorist attacks and attempt attacks. The problem is parts of the airport security checkpoint process are not always exact, ways to improve airport security is innovative technology, fair judgement and treatment from airport security, and putting more air marshals on flights.

Advantages. The volume and density of flights landing and taking off would not have as much of an impact on the population of the

The article “TSA Sends Site Survey Teams to 33 Additional Airports” published on US Newswire discussed the increase in security at airports. Published on August 12, 2002, the report discussed both the new Transportation Security Administration policies and how the policies would help create safer airports and planes. This article was published nearly a year after September 11, 2001 attack. It explained the new baggage screening, checkpoints, and explosion detector equipment. The new security devices were to start being installed the week of August 12, 2002. Airports not only had new machines installed, but also had new teams hired. Therefore, the installation and operation of TSA equipment had begun in 33 American airports. I found it incredible how much America developed airports in less than a year.

With air traffic set to double in the next 20 years, chances are you will choose air travel as a possible method of transportation at some point in your future lifetime (Owram). For some, the task of flying comes easily after having done it so many times, while for others, it can be a real hassle. It seems like just about anyone that has flown enough has at least one horror story about their flying experience.

Airport demand as it relates to the current capacity, what is generating the demand, what is

In this essay, I will attempt to argue that TSA serves as a mechanism for the government to frame the nature of the debate on privacy, in a way that is beneficial to them. To do this I will first argue that airport security and the TSA are objectively ineffective and merely creates the illusion of privacy. Despite not actually protecting us, the system of airplane security, conditions individuals in the general public to be willing to make sacrifices in privacy for a perceived “greater good” in community safety. This viewpoint of individuals sacrificing a little privacy for the well-being of society is the essentially the same “nothing to hide” argument that the government uses to justify mass surveillance and the violation of

In 2008, security at an airport in Cairo captures a man attempting to smuggle priceless Egyptian artifacts, including two mummies of a cat and an ibis. (BBC News 2008) In 1999, authorities in Thailand found over 700 artifacts, many of them almost a thousand years old, hidden in a sculptor’s house in a town called Ayutthaya. Many of them are related to Buddhist practices and structures, and are thought to have been stolen from important sites. (Akanond 1999) Even more recently in 2015, due to the instability of countries in the Middle East, the smuggling of antiques from sites under control of ISIS, and their illegal trade and selling in London is common up until this day, and most likely will continue to be as long as the instability continues.

Millions of people choose to travel by airplane every year. History has most recently shown that flying and airports have been a target for terrorists attacks however, how many travelers are truly concerned of the security measures being taken, compared to traveling by air being a proficient, hassle free, and speedy way to travel? Would the average travel sacrifice their safety in order to make their flying experience a faster processes? In today’s society, there is a focus on efficiency and not slowing down while keeping our airports and skies safe and secure of any potential threats, while on the other hand the safety of our people should be the most beneficial and strategic plan in security measures no matter how long this may take.
