1. What does the term “UAV” stand for? Indentify two issues that are unique to this emerging technology. “UAV” stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Two issues that were mentioned in the course about UAV’s were the increase of air traffic and the rights to privacy. There would need to be another program for UAV’s to fit into the air traffic control system or have another program or set of laws to regulate the routes in which these air vehicles can safely navigate the sky and not harm people and/or property. Another issue using UAV’s is the right to privacy one might invade by flying over places that is closed to the public. Since air rights are the rights that are also being challenged, when is it ok to fly over someone’s property? Many …show more content…
“Major” disputes seek to create contractual rights within an airline. “Minor” disputes develop from interpretation or application of agreements covering rates of pay, rules, or working conditions. “Minor” disputes involve controversies over the definition of an existing collective bargaining/employment agreement. For example, the issues revolving the reasoning of someone being fired is considered a “minor” issue, which must be resolved through the Railway Labor Act of 1926 .
3. Describe the benefits and drawbacks of the passenger profiling systems that emerged following the explosion of TWA Flight 800.
After the TWA 800 accident, the skepticism on profiling became evermore prominent. Following the explosion of TWA Flight 800, profiling of terrorist became a popular idea in the airline and security industry. Profiling became prominent towards Arab passengers because of recent trending news about Civil War in Afghanistan at the time and the conspiracy about TWA 800 being a terrorist attack. Association’s created more in depth x-ray machines and a list of characteristics on what should security officers should look for when having suspicion of a possible threat from a passenger. This may offend people and their right to privacy as far as how much do they need to strip down in order for you to let them through the security gate. However, it can benefit by saving a whole plane full of people by allowing the
The first issue concerning UAVs deals with the inability for an opponent to surrender under the attack of a UAV strike. Additionally, I will discuss the possible increased inclination to start war
In Asra Q. Nomani’s article “Airport Security: Let’s Profile Muslims” she acknowledges that, “Data in reports released over the past several months from New York University’s Center for Security and the Law; the Congressional Research Service, and the Rand Corporation reveal that over the past decade not only are many defendants in terrorism cases Muslim, but they trace their national or ethnic identity back to specific countries.” In this article, Nomani asserts her interest of Racial and Religious profiling for passengers boarding among U.S Airports. Opposing this article is Nafees Syed’s article, “Airport Screening for ‘Flying while muslim.’” Syed imparts how offensive and frustrating profiling can be for those who are “randomly selected.” A topic like this is very sensitive to discuss but it 's a concern of many people. Should racial profiling be enforced in U.S airlines? If you contrast the two articles it is evident that Nomani’s article possesses a stronger argument.
. Racial profiling has always led to heated debates, but in general, there is a consensus that it is an offensive tactic that must be stopped, nevertheless if the argument is about profiling in airports, the public opinion is divided. It seems that many are willing to sacrifice their convictions and civil rights for a sense of safety in this war against terrorism.
Racial profiling occurs every day. It is a longstanding and deeply troubling national problem despite the claims that the United States has entered a “post-racial era.” “Racial profiling is patently illegal, violating the U.S. Constitution’s core promises of equal protection under the law to all and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. Racial profiling affects a wide array of communities of color. More than 240 years of slavery and 90 years of legalized racial segregation have led to systemic profiling of blacks in traffic and pedestrian stops. Since September 11, 2001, members of Muslim, Arab, and South Asian communities have been profiled by airline personnel, federal law enforcement, and local police.” (Racial Profiling, n.d.)
Ten years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, millions of people board planes all around the country just like any other day of the year. It was no different for the passengers departing from the Metro Airport in Detroit, Michigan. The passengers were minding their own business and casually waiting for the plane to take off. All of sudden, a group of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents stormed in to the aircraft demanding everyone to put their hands on the seat in front of them. Then, the agents selected three specific people, arrested them, pulled them from the plane, stripped searched them, and locked them up. This was racial profiling because of their ethnic background. What should have been an average day turned into a day that two Indian-American men, and 36 year old, half-Jewish, half-Arab, Shoshana Hebshi, will never be able to forget (Warikoo, 2013).
When people were surveyed by Gallup poll in June 2004 many Americans took a survey saying if racial profiling was necessary in airports and 53% of Americans said that racial profiling should be unnecessary in airports. Security officers often fail when they suspect that someone looks suspicious in a airport “Investigating people who look suspicious will often lead officers down the wrong path; the key to success is to observe behavior”( Harris 37). Officers use racial profiling in the wrong way. They judge people based on if they look suspicious or not,and to many officers Arab Americans will look suspicious to them and by doing this the security officer fails in his or her investigation. Security officers need to properly investigate people based on behavior and not suspicious looks or race. Many Arabs are racially profiled because of the terrible event that took place on September 11th, but that doesn't mean that all Arabs are terrorist “And of course the profiling of Arabs and Muslims assumes that we need to worry about only one type of terrorist. We must not forget that prior to the attacks on September 11th the most carried out terrorist attack was not by a middle easterner but by two average white American men”(Harris 38). When we think about a terrorist usually a Muslim pops up into our heads, but in this case Muslims did not do the Oklahoma city bombings and this these bombings were committed by white Americans. Usually no one would expect this to happen, but it did and still Arabs are racially profiled at airports while white Americans aren't even checked once at the airport. Many people do believe that racial profiling is a terrible idea and they also disagree with it very
Profiling is something that every person has or will do at some point in their life; some may even profile without even realizing it. There are various forms of profiling which will be discussed, along with the history behind profiling and how it has been used successfully by Law Enforcement in several areas as a field on investigation (Douglass, Ressler &Burgess, 1986). Profiling has various positives along with negatives, and these are accepted by Satzewich and Shaffir (2009) who suggest that racial profiling is best understood in the context of a police subculture where these police officer intergrade profiling as part of their every day work routine. Profiling is a big factor in the daily work of every Law Enforcement Officer and it cannot be avoided (Becker, 2004). For the most part profiling is seen as part of an officers daily investigative tools, from border searches, to pulling vehicles over for traffic citations the officers will use his or her discretion on those who arouse their suspicion (Rose, 2002). Therefore, this paper will analyze the overall effectiveness of profiling and how it either proves to successfully reduce crime or not (Rose, 2002).
Many studies have been made in the field of criminology, concluding that profiling is a necessary means for discovering and apprehending criminals. There are many different types of profiling and many people think of profiling differently; however, all types of profiling does work and is proven to help stop crime. This paper will explore the following: profiling and different forms of it, the closely related stop and frisk policy, different cities that have proven statistics that profiling does work, how airports are now profiling, and different serial killers that have been apprehended due to work from profilers.
Drones are regarded as one of the edgy technology applications that are in a vigorous development cycle all over the world. Drone is a term used to describe unmanned airborne vehicle (UAVs) without a pilot. Drones can be controlled wirelessly using remote control and communication protocols as Wi-Fi or high frequency waves. Drones can navigate with a degree of autonomy using onboard Microcomputers. They have different types, sizes and degrees of autonomy. Each type of drones has its own ethical issues for usage. Drones have invaded many professions due to its high speed, accuracy, low cost, do not have to be rested and the most important thing is that it can handle dangerous missions without risking humans lives.
Hypothesis: The events of September 11th has caused racial profiling, a practice that was vilified by many just months ago, to become a common and accepted practice used by the government, airline officials, police agencies, and the American public. Profiling has also become a necessary tool used to prevent further terrorist attacks on the United States.
Racial profiling is an epidemic. It has negatively impacted communities for generations. THe use of race by American police in their policing activities has received much attention across the world. Social media have exploded the daily news people consume and trends are now visible to those that previously didn’t notice it. Countless studies were released on that epidemic and yet, in 2016, nothing seems to have changed. There are those who will support the idea, but quite often, it’s because it doesn’t affect them. While it’s true that African Americans have a particular past with racial profiling in America, it’s has always been much broader experience. Anyone with Arabic look or with Muslim affiliation would be constantly set aside for extra searching and questioning at airports. As a journalist so well explained “People like
Have you ever seen a drone or now what they are? Drone are a human craft without a piolet but UAV are ground base controlled. I will be arguing why the government should or should not use drones in everyday life because of military, changes the way we do things, to spy on people, and in agricultural.
Profiling in our airports, train stations, and borders is a very important step in securing them. Vigilance and surveillance are two important steps in preventing attacks against our country. The United States has “beefed up” security by using the latest technological inventions to search people before they get onto the plane, but they are still able to be “beaten” by criminals. In order to achieve a higher level of security, there must be individual searches by a human instead of just a computer; but, with such a large amount of people flying in planes, taking trains, and crossing our borders, it is un-realistic that the United States would be able to do searches by a human on each and every person. Instead, we must use profiling to help determine who may be carrying something that is illegal with malicious intentions. Michael Tuohey, the airport security agent who checked Muhammed Atta, the leader of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and a companion through the security gates said after the September 11th attack “They had a tie and jacket on. And as I'm looking at them, you know, they're holding their IDs up, and I'm looking at them. It's not nice, but I said, ‘If this doesn't look like two Arab terrorists, I've never seen two Arab terrorists.’” Although he had this gut feeling, he did not search them further because he felt guilty about feeling
The package comes, but there is no deliverer. A tractor is plowing the field after a successful harvest, but there is no driver. This is the future of technology, and more specifically, unmanned aerial vehicles. UAVs, more commonly referred to as “drones,” have been advancing for decades now. Their advancement has not come without opposition though, and while this argument is concentrated behind drones role in technologies' machination over society, the true reality is a shift to mechanization, a progression the United States has seen before. Historically, many economic shifts have affected the US, including the shift from agrarian society to industrialization in the Gilded Age, periods which allowed the US to dominate the world economy,
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, have transitioned from primarily military applications to use in the private sector; being used to film movies, delivering packages for Amazon, and even personal entertainment. Because of the advancement in drone
