Transportation Security Administration

Many years ago airport security was not even an issue. People felt secure and safe and rarely worried about being searched. As time went on, the prevealance of terrorism became an increasing issue. There began more acts of terrorism by threatening and holding hostages on board commercial planes. As these acts continued, the government as well as citizens became vulnerable and an airport safety procedure was implemented as a way to ensure the safety of the United States. The implemented procedures

include an increase in airport security, a change in national security, and an increase the fear of terrorism. Flying out or in of the country or even within has become more challenging since the 9/11 attacks. It takes more time to get through security which makes for a much earlier arrival time for those flying. Most airlines require an arrival two hours prior to their departure time. Many Americans have stopped flying altogether because of the hassle of airport security and out of fear. Before the

Erin McFee concerning the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Boston’s Logan Airport (Anteby & McFee, 2009). The case focuses on supervisor and managerial responses to a Transportation Security Officer’s (TSO) role in enabling a security breach at the airport. The time setting for the case study is a Monday morning in 2009, the day after the security breach. The principal decision maker is Mina O’Reilly, one of about 100 Supervisor Transportation Security

increased security that comes at a cost that many feel is an invasion of their charter rights. The idea of racial profiling is not new, but many feel worse than ever in today’s anti-Muslim society. This habit of losing civil liberties in the wake of terror is to some an unnecessary change that is unallowable, but leaves many wondering if we should sacrifice our freedom for safety. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, revealed a deficiency in the procedures of the airline security system.

deliberately crashed two of those planes directly into the World Trade Center buildings (the “Twin Towers”) in New York City (NYC). These attacks, led by the Al Qaeda terrorist group, killed nearly 3,000 people. As a result the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was created to protect our country from threats to our people and infrastructure, (CITATION). The destruction of the World Trade Center has been cleaned up and the Freedom Tower was built in its place, (CITATION). In addition, numerous museums

ensures our privilege of security and the privilege to be free from unreasonable search and seizures. But to what degree is unreasonable? I believe that these rights might be misinterpreted depending on the circumstance that is happening. In the event that something is to affect the health and happiness of the common people, in other words, national security. At that point I do believe these rights should to be put on delay for the occasion. I feel that national security is more imperative than protection

international Terrorism first struck America. A day that America’s security was exposed from there on TSA, and Homeland Security was built. I remember before the devastating attacks we were able to walk up to any terminal in the airport and wait for any of our family members board the aircraft. Since those devastating attacks Americans have seen new policies in security and new implementations in transportation, but the cost to our new security and technology is the peoples’ privacy has agonized.

Airport Security Bombs , guns, and knives, all things that Airport Security (TSA) looks for when they put you through a body scanner, but is it too much? Body scanners have various ways of checking for the dangerous items one of which is by using x-rays that stop at the skin, the other is by using millimeter waves to do the same thing. The problem that then arises is that there is an exact scan of the person's body. Some machines can blur or partially blur parts of the image that the user doesn’t

this new security practice by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is that it is time consuming, so travelers have to go through the unpleasant chore of having to go through security longer. I believe that the Transportation Security Administration is violating traveler’s privacy and their solution in making the airways safe is too excessive. I looked at many articles, videos,

is able to open and search passenger’s luggage for security screening, not many people like this ability. In some cases the agents don’t replace the locks or close them properly. TSA has two companies make different kinds of locks that can be opened and relocked by special tools and information by the manufacturer. A positive side to this note is that if a passengers TSA approved lock is missing they can file a claim with form SF-95. (Security, 2010) People get irritated by this, because no one
