Airline security

Only passengers who saw Reid trying to ignite the explosives stopped the destruction of the plane. This is where baggage handlers make sure that every bag on board belongs to a passenger on the plane. Just a few weeks ago, yet another alert was put out, stemming from another terrorist threat. ivacy can be defined as the right to be left alone without unwarranted intrusion by the government, the media or other institutions or individuals. They used the box cutters to take over the planes and eventually crash the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. Reid attempted to blow up this plane only one day after he was detained and extensively questioned while trying to board another plane to America. If a passenger gets off the plane for some reason, their bags must be taken off the plane also. Since September 11th, many changes have been made to the security in airports, but I believe that they are not enough to keep us safe. Ultimately, I believe that these stricter changes would not only prevent events like those on September 11, but also they would deter would-be terrorists from even trying to breech the security at airports. In November, Congress passed a law that requires airlines to screen all bags in four ways: with explosive-detection equipment, with explosive-sniffing dogs, with hand searches and by matching passengers to bags. It would not be difficult for a suicide mission to carry a device of destruction, either in checked luggage or on his or her person. The shear loss of life due to problems in airline security makes the need for stricter security even greater. The law as a whole could quite possibly deter many attacks, but the law as a whole is not being used. Stiff fines should be in place for those airports that do not follow the correct procedure.
