S. consular offices in various overseas locations around the globe (Matthews & Hasson, 2002)
Another attack in virtually the same place in a short period of time would kill or maim many of the people who came to try to help out. Aether Systems is working on wireless technology that will be offered to police and other emergency responders, as well as intelligence agencies, and which will greatly help the fight against terrorism (Meloan, 2002)
It is troubling, however, that even with the new screeners and the new equipment, reports have shown how law-enforcement personnel have been able to bring knives and other dangerous items onto planes. There are ways to get past the screening devices, and there are ways to get past the people who operate them, although this is expected to get harder to do in the future (O'Brien, 2001)
Another problem with the hub and spoke design is that even a suspected terrorist incident can cause problems for travelers and long delays at the gate (Fredrickson & LaPorte, 2002). It can also cause flights to be missed and connections in other cities to be missed as a result (Pickel, 2002)
Many articles have been written about airport security since the terrorist attacks on our nation, and a great deal of them say the same thing. Airport security needs work (Rogers, 2002)
consular offices in various overseas locations around the globe (Matthews & Hasson, 2002). There is also talk of using the 'EZ-Pass' system, which would allow people who have already been checked out and approved to cross borders much faster (Sirhal, 2002)
While it is important for Americans to have their freedom, it is more important to maintain order and safety throughout the country. September 11th, 2001 reminded Americans that in order to have order and safety they must give up some of the freedom that they have become so accustomed to (Twight, 2002)
Firewalls are used to prevent people from getting into the network in the first place. If they do happen to somehow get into the network, encryption and tunneling are used so that they cannot make sense out of any of the information that they can access, or do anything to that information to damage it in any way (Ulanoff, 2002)
Obviously, it is unrealistic to tear down and rebuild all the country's airports simply to make them safe for passengers. It is, however, feasible to look at safety and security when new airports need to be built (Whitcomb, 2001)
The initiative of ICAO for ensuring harmony and peace in the field of aviation is largely accomplished through its Council which has its origin in the Interim Council of the Provisional International Civil Aviation Organization -- PICAO. (Abeyratne, 2003) For reforming the nation's aviation security system, the Team in its meeting of 1st October, 2001, recommended that the following measures should be put in practice as soon as possible: (a) setting up of a new federal security agency, which would be housed within the DOT; (b) integration of national security intelligence data and law enforcement data with airport and airline systems, including reservation of passengers; - a senior level security officer to be designated by all airports and airlines; the officer should have power over a security clearance required to take action on sensitive intelligence information; (d) "new technology to be adopted for the positive identification of airport workers, crews, and passengers, uncovering of explosives, and more effective baggage and passenger screening to be integrated in the programs of airport security as soon as possible; (e) establishment of an Aviation Technology Consortium by the FAA; (f) applying the CAPPS -- Computer Assisted Passenger Pre-screening System for all passengers
Even if such measures pose problems of long-processing time for passengers and costly upgrades, it is justified because keeping the nation and its citizens safe is of utmost importance for the country. (Anderson, 2005) References Abeyratne, Ruwantissa Indranath Ramya
The security check which they go through is the same as the other travelers. (Armstrong, 2007) The security measures issued by the government have also impacted the airports in various ways

(Abeyratne, 2003); (Donoghue, 2001) Building upon the successful efforts of the Administration since 9/11, in June 2006, the President of the U
However, the entire airport industry is still open to external problems such as the outbreak of SARS and furthers terrorist attacks, for example, Saudi Arabia, Bali and Casablanca and the Iraq War. (Graham, 2003) It is necessary to concede to the fact that none of the challenges which were prevalent prior to the 9/11 incident, have gone away
Even so, the office continues to face challenges in obtaining official approval for systems that are already on an operational basis, increasing its intrusion detection competency, and managing security of information systems throughout the agency. (Zellan, 1999) The attacks of 11th September, 2001 have indisputably put the airport industry in an environment which is quite volatile and uncertain
Those contents may be later forfeited to authorities if evidence determines that any or all of the above-mentioned violations are proven to be true. Works Cited Cornell University Law School. (2010)
If a suspected terrorist is not screened, it makes transport systems all the more vulnerable to such attacks. Other issues that still need to be addressed (Ahlers, 2004), even eight months after the supposed implementation of the new bill, are the shortage of federal air marshals on commercial flights, ineffective checkpoint screening - as mentioned above, and still unfinished reforms proposed as long as six years ago, such as blast resistant cargo containers
First, it considerably slows down the time that it takes from check-in at the gate to boarding, as one must pass through a number of security checks. Two, it adds burdens to carriers and to fliers who now must weigh whether or not to check bags or take carry-on luggage, and the task force charged with carrying out all these security measures must be paid somehow -- and that means raiding the coffers of things like Social Security, which is virtually all gone for the next generation because of all the new departments that have been created by the federal government in the wake of 9/11 (Durden, 2015)
Why should the TSA act separately if it only controls a small percentage of the actual security of the airport? The question is a good one and cuts to the heart of the government bureaucracies created in the wake of 9/11 that do nothing but drain the public of its money and inefficiently "screen" passengers. I would validate a plan of organizing the screening force in the following manner: Airports are still not able to really "opt out" of TSA management, even with the Screening Partnership Program (SPP) because "the entire process is [still] micromanaged by TSA" with the TSA choosing for the airport which company will do the screening and then still regulating that service rather than allowing the airport to integrate it into its own security strategy and apparatus (Ybarra, 2013, p
The impact of 9/11 on the airport security apparatus can also be seen in changes to Constitutional Amendments. For example, the Administrative Search Exception (ASE) issues relating to airline/airport security are those which fall within the Supreme Court's assessment that "warrantless searches are per se unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment' unless they fall within 'a few specifically established and well-delineated exceptions to that general rule'" (Primus, 2011, p
